One of the top cuvées from a new producer in Priorat, Terroir al Limit. Winemaker Dominick Huber hand-harvests grapes from old Garnatxa vines grown in chalky soil. The wine aged for 2 years in a large old foudre. Impressive minerality and freshness, this wine is excellent young, yet definitely ageworthy.

Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Priorato

Priorat is the precocious new kid on the Spanish wine scene. Twenty years ago, this tiny Northwestern winemaking region was all but forgotten. Then, after a handful of winemaking mavericks moved into the area, Priorat began to produce some of the most powerful, complex, and expensive wines on the market.
