Carignan 100%
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 Ximénez 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 cuvée, made from purchased fruit. A small wine cellar was bought in 2003; production rose in the following years with various cuvées added to the portfolio. In 2019, the 2016 vintage of Priorat Les Manyes received 100 points from The Wine Advocate.
This Carignan welcomes you with fresh berry aromas that are like jam, accented by spice notes. Secondary aromas of coffee and toast lead to a full, saturated palate with a vise grip. Deep, savory flavors of roasted plum are spicy on a complex finish that blends power and elegance to the end.
