About the Producer

"Terroir al Límit fits into a distinctly Mediterranean context. Our ancient culture and terroir are consequences of the Mediterranean climate. Our wines are produced with gastronomy in mind. They shine brightest when enjoyed with family and friends, as part of the lifestyle of southern Europe. To pair with a healthy Mediterranean diet – known for dishes that are pure and authentic in flavor – our wines must be light and transparent. Nothing should mask the true character of the soils: not the oak, not the extraction, not the over-ripeness of the grapes. Only pure, mineral-rich fruit is used.

We believe real food needs real wine. And wine should be made from healthy, lively grapes without any manipulation or additives, and with no other purpose than that of expressing the authentic emotion and true character of the place. Each successive vintage is a testament to their original vision for Terroir al Límit, as well as to Dominik’s continued quest to make the most elegant and expressive wines in the Priorat."

Tasting Notes

Crisp red fruit aromas of pomegranate and hibiscus, fennel and blackberry are underscored with the savory accents of smoky garrigue. Fine-grained tannins shape the balanced palate into one both juicy and mouthwatering. Wine at both its most basic, and most beautiful.
