The producer
Despite being a relative latecomer to Priorat, Dominik Huber arrived in 2001 and within twenty years has created wines that are heralded even within the context of the very best of Priorat. Farming according to organically and biodynamic principles, the vineyards rise from 350 to 800 meters. These are wines of amazing freshness and finesse, wines that speak of their terroir in more delicate tones; yet wines that don’t lack in depth and richness of flavor.
Terroir al Limit produces an exemplary range of wines – both white and red - from various plots in Priorat and neighbouring Monstant. This is an estate that does not stand still and quality seems to remain on an ascendant. The top cuvees show the two faces of the traditional Priorat grape varieties. We currently focus on top cuvee Les Manyes, along with single vineyards Les Tosses and L’Arbosar, and the white ‘Pedra de Guix’.
The wine
Les Tosses is the first wine in the Terroir Al Limit collection, introduced in 2003. Fruit for this Grand Cru is sourced from 80-year-old Carignan vines in the 2-hectare southwest facing single vineyard at 600 meters altitude in the Torroja del Priorat village. The wine is whole cluster native fermented and following aged for 16 months in 1200l fuders. Opulent black fruit intermingle with sweet spices smoke and minerality, an almost rugged yet silky structure and vibrant acidity. Around 2,900 bottles are produced of each vintage.
