Introduction

White Wine: 2018 | Terroir Al Limit | Pedra de Guix

The 2018 Pedra de Guix is a brilliant white wine, you notice that immediately after pouring. Intense aromas of ripe pear, peach compote and honeydew melon flow into the nose, as well as plenty of spice reminiscent of wood smoke, liquorice, salted caramel, salted almonds and freshly brewed coffee. The palate is compact and powerful, with incredibly striking, cool and stony minerality.

Producer Information

erroir 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.
