Description Terroir al Límit

History Terroir al Límit

What happens when a South-African (the famous Eben Sadie) and a German meet in Priorat? The two winemakers made their first wine together in 2001. Long before other wineries in the region, they decided to focus on elegant and fresh wines. And so they made the most gastronomic Priorats. Eben has now left the estate to concentrate on his family estate in Swartland.

Varieties Terroir al Límit

Only Grenache and Carignan are used for the reds (the latter being favoured for the 'first growths'). For the whites, Pedro Ximénez, Macabeu and White Grenache.

Terroir Terroir al Límit

Torroja lies in the heart of the Priorat appellation zone and has mainly old Carignan vines. Terroir al Limit owns impressive blocks of vines on steep, un-terraced slate slopes. Dominik believes in single vineyard cuvées that allow each particular micro-terroir to express itself. Here are the 'First Growths' cuvées he makes: -Dits de la Tierra (60 year-old Carignans on pure slate, facing south); -Arbossar (1,6 hectare of Carignan planted in 1910 at an altitude of 400 m, still on pure slate, but facing north). And here are his two 'Grands Crus': -Les Manyes : a vine of Grenache Pelut (or Lladoner) planted on limestone soils, quite rare in the Priorat, above the Scala Dei cloister, facing west -Les Tosses: 80 year-old Carignans planted at an altitude of 600 m d'altitude (the highest vines of Torroja), one black schists, facing south-west.

Vinification Terroir al Límit

Biodynamics, with as little intervention as possible: whole bunches (not de-stemmed) indigenous yeasts, no punching-down or pumping-over, and a minimum of sulphur. The careful work at the vines result in refined, elegant wines, full of life and minerality, also showing a deep respect for their terroir.

Year

Description

Dits del Terra comes from 100 year-old carignan vines oriented to the South, very different from those at Arbossar, on the Northern side. Biodynamic and non-interventionist. The bunches are not de-stemmed and so they are vinified whole. Then they are left to macerate slowly, without adding any enzymes or yeasts. No pumping over and no treading during fermentation. This is the only way to obtain such a refined Priorat wine.
