Introduction

Red Wine: 2019 | Terroir Sense Fronteres | Negre

The Grenache fruit shines with a wild beauty, elegance and whimsy untouched by any oak contact. Enticing aromas of crunchy cherry and blackberry lead into an herbal yet ethereal brilliance that refuses to be pinned down. Medium-bodied, with silky red fruit flavours, deep spice and hints of liquorice and a web of fine-grained tannins leading to a lingering mineral finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The wine has aromas of licorice and Mediterranean herbs. It has character and is light and ethereal.

• James Suckling: Really perfumed and beautiful with lots of bright fruit and spices. Lots of lavender, too. Its full-bodied with creamy tannins. Delicious finish.

Producer Information

Terroir Sense Fronteres was established in 2016, when Dominik Huber, co-founder of Terroir al Limit, acquired a four-hectare plot as part of another acquisition. He has eschewed the preferred modern formula that adds alcohol, extraction, and oak to naturally concentrated, old-vine Carignan and Grenache, without losing the ability to express Priorats profound minerality and soul. This grand vision for restrained wines has always captured the attention of wine lovers and professionals eager to drink fresher, more gastronomic Priorat wines. Nevertheless, Huber still stands virtually alone at the limit that he pioneered. With the launch of Terroir Sense Fronteres, his new project next door in the Montsant, he is poised to break boundaries all over again.Hubers winemaking philosophy seeks to restore this natural connection to the earth and the vine: vineyards are farmed organically or biodynamically, grapes are harvested and placed into tanks, vats, or amphora (whole bunch) by hand, trodden gently by foot, and fermented with native yeasts. There are no destemmers or oak barrels in the Terroir Sense Fronteres winery and sulfur additions are low.
