O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022
Terroir Sense Fronteres Guix Vermell Negre 2017 is a smooth red wine with expressive aromas of black and red berries, graphite notes and sweet and exotic spicy touches. On the palate it is varietal, fresh and very lively. A well-balanced wine with vibrant acidity and noble tannins. The finish is long, persistent and mineral. The top wine in this collection and one of the most celebrated in the world.
Terroir Sense Fronteres Guix Vermell Negre is a clay-aged red wine made by Terroir Sense Fronteres with the Garnacha Tinta grape variety in the D.O. Montsant (Catalonia).
A lover of the Priorat, Dominik Huber has worked to recover a winemaking style where the grape, the terroir and the climate are the real protagonists. This is a return to the old way of doing things, where Huber bought a vineyard by chance during his purchase of a plot in the neighbouring D.O. Montsant, understanding that here he could make his wines without so many restrictions and achieve more freshness and lightness. This is how his four Terroir Sense Fronteres wines are made.
In the winery, the Terroir Sense Fronteres Guix Vermell Negre grapes are left whole without destemming. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts in terracotta jars. Maceration lasts between 7 and 8 days and finally the wine ages in these clay jars for about 6 months.
Inspired by plaster (guix) and red clay (vermell) soils, the Terroir Sense Fronteres Guix Vermell Black wine is vinified following the ancient Burgundy wine-making traditions to capture the maximum expression of the terroir. A fresh, smooth wine with a powerful elegance.

Terroir Al Límit
At Terroir al Límit, we are very aware of being part of the Mediterranean context. Priorat is a historic Mediterranean region with an ancient winemaking tradition. Our culture and terroir are strongly influenced by the Mediterranean climate. The goal at Terroir al Límit is to produce wines of infusion rather than extraction, thus emphasizing elegance instead of the typical weight of Priorat wines.
Our wines are crafted for gastronomy. They are meant to be enjoyed in the company of family and friends, in the lifestyle of southern Europe. Food and wine have always gone hand in hand, as part of a healthy Mediterranean diet. To complement this pure and authentic cuisine, our wines must be light and transparent; they must be flowing, fine, and elegant.
