ABOUT THIS WINE
The Terroir al Limit Historic Blanco 2022 is a white blend from the Priorat DOCa appellation in Spain, produced by Terroir al Limit. The wine is a composition of 75% Garnacha Blanca and 25% Macabeo, with grapes sourced from nine distinct villages within Priorat. The vines, aged between 35 and 50 years, grow on varied soils including slate, clay, and granite at altitudes ranging from 350 to 800 meters. The Terroir Històric project, initiated by the producer, aims to capture the collective character of the Priorat region and supports the transition of family vineyards to organic farming, encouraging young farmers to return to the land.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Terroir al Limit Historic Blanco is produced using whole-cluster fermentation with natural yeasts, often incorporating three to five days of light skin contact in the 'brisat' style. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel or cement vats. Post-fermentation, the wine matures for six months exclusively in cement or stainless steel tanks, with no oak influence. This method is designed to preserve the purity of the fruit and highlight the specific characteristics of the Priorat terroir. The producer's philosophy centers on minimal intervention, allowing the inherent qualities of the grapes and the vineyard to define the final wine.
