Notes from the Winemaker:
This rich, textured blend of Grenache Blanc (60%) and Pedro Ximenez (40%), from 25+ year old slate/clay vines of La Morera del Montsant, is only the second white wine to grace the Terroir al Limit family.
The grapes are hand harvested, fermented in whole bunches for 5 days in inox and cement tanks, and then aged for 6 months in cement. The traditional combination of extraction, oxidation and maceration encourages sleek and structured layers – almost more red in style than white – to emerge on the palate and convey the unmistakable voice of the sites. From an initial rich, fino-like character emerges a wine of tension and freshness, racy citrus layers of white currant, mirabelle and spring flowers. A singular expression that belies the full finesse and depth of the region.
