Terroir Historic Negre from Terroir al Limit winery is a red, delightful wine from Priorat that reflects not only the uniqueness of the terroir of the area, but also the style of winemaking that was popular in the 70s in the region.
As you know by now, a great wine is a reflection of its terroir, i.e. its life in the vineyard, and the Terroir Al Limit team has exactly that goal. To highlight the greatness of nature of the forgotten villages in Priorat. After all, the name of the winery, Terroir al limit, loosely translated means "nature at its limits". Whatever our opinion on the matter, keep in mind that Parker very often graces the winery with 95s! Okay, we love it too…
Dominik Huber and the Terroir Al Limit team cultivate biodynamically, vineyards in 9 forgotten villages of Priorat on the Spanish-French border, over 50 years old, with some over 100. Historic Negre Terroir Al Limit is produced from the two local varieties Garnacha Tinta (75%) and Cariñena (25%). The grapes come from all 9 different vineyards. Each with its own soil, microclimate and character adds something different resulting in the expression of the entire Priorat together in one bottle. Dominik's philosophy wants the wines to be elegant and expressive, without covering up the magic that the soil and climate of the place gives them. With a gentle, non-intrusive style of winemaking, whole bunch fermentation takes place naturally with indigenous yeasts and the wine is then aged for 8 months in cement tanks.
The result is a surprisingly expressive red wine, elegant and authentic, that will shine next to dishes with a Mediterranean temperament. If you love Priorat or want to discover what it is like, then Historic Negre is the best way to do it.
We suggest you hurry before it's too late…
