2022 Terroir al Límit Priorat Terra de Cuques Blanc

Terroir al Límit has earned its place among Spain’s most sought-after artisan producers, with a philosophy rooted in expressing Priorat’s stunning landscapes through meticulous, traditional winemaking.

The Terra de Cuques Blanc is a blend of 60% Garnacha Blanca and 40% Pedro Ximénez, sourced from bush vines in La Morera del Montsant. These high-altitude vineyards, perched at 400 to 600 metres on slate and clay soils, face northeast, allowing the grapes to retain refreshing acidity thanks to cool nights. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented as whole bunches for five days, and aged for six months in cement and stainless steel, delivering a wine of textural intrigue and mineral precision.

On the nose, jasmine florals mingle with notes of beeswax, lemon peel, and a subtle saline edge. The palate is layered and energised, with mouth-coating texture and vibrant acidity driving flavours of citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and stony minerality, finishing with a beautifully persistent grip. It’s a wine that invites both contemplation and enjoyment.

A true reflection of Priorat’s unique high-country terroir, this wine exemplifies why Terroir al Límit is celebrated by those who seek wines of authenticity and finesse.

"Jasmine floralness with tile, beeswax, stones and dried lemon peel... solid tannins and a long, ample finish. Lovely phenolics."
