O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022
Fresh Garnacha Fina fruit radiates elegance and altitude - almost Alpine in its precision - and just a hint of attitude. Aromas of smoky black fruits, ripe blackberries and crisp pomegranate mingle with accents of liquorice and fresh forest herbs. The elegant palate opens up to a wild ride of sun-soaked fruit, cool, chalky nights and tremendous structured concentration. A persistent acidity courses through the wine just below the surface like an underground stream. Fine tannins shape and sharpen the taut body for the portrait of refinement.
Terroir Sense Fronteres Vèrtebra de La Figuera began as a quest to harness the unique minerality and soul of Montsant and give liquid voice to the restraint and freshness of the complex surrounding hills of Priorat through the special Garnacha vines that grow there. Garnacha Fina is a local garnacha with larger berries and thinner skins that thrive on the plateau 600 metres above Figuera Mountain on pink clay and plastered vines.
The old bush vines in these cooler, late ripening sites lend the varietal wine an almost Pinot-like elegance and purity. The grapes are vinified for 6 – 8 days in cement tanks, and then aged a further 6 months in cement.

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.
