Introduction

Red Wine: 2010 | Terroir Al Limit | Les Tosses (Double Magnum)

The 2010 Les Tosses is an impressive and touching wine, that is already unmistakable in the nose. Cool aromas of black slate combine with notes of dark tobacco, liquorice, tar, fine dark chocolate and coffee. This interplay of cool and warm, earthy flavors is accompanied by impressive fruit reminiscent of blackberry, black currant, black currant jam, blueberry compote, candied black cherry and prune. Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary, thyme, bay leaves and sage round off the complex aroma and add freshness.

Producer Information

Terroir Al Limit is a Spanish winery in the Priorat region of Catalunya, also making wine from the adjacent Montsant DO. It is known for pure, mineral-rich wines which are not over-extracted or reliant on oak. The red grapes Grenache (known as Garnaxta in Catalonia) and Carignan (Carinyena) are the main focus here. White wines are made in smaller volumes from varieties including Grenache Blanc, Pedro Ximnez and Macabeo (Viura). The business was established in 2001 by German Dominik Huber and South African winemaker Eben Sadie. Huber remains at the helm, while Sadie left in 2012 to focus on his South African projects. It debuted with the first Dits del Terra cuve, made from purchased fruit. A small wine cellar was bought in 2003; production rose in the following years with various cuves added to the portfolio. In 2019, the 2016 vintage of Priorat Les Manyes received 100 points from The Wine Advocate.
