Description
The Terroir al Limit Terra de Cuques Blanc 2022 is a remarkable testament to the rich terroir of Priorat, crafted from a blend of 60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Pedro Ximenez. Sourced from 25-year-old slate and clay vines in La Morera del Montsant, this wine represents only the second white release from the esteemed Terroir al Limit winery. The meticulous winemaking process involves handpicking the grapes, whole-cluster fermentation for five days in stainless steel and cement tanks, and a six-month aging period in cement. This traditional method captures the unique characteristics of the region's terroir.
Initially, the wine reveals a fino-like richness, which gradually transforms into a vibrant and complex profile. Notes of jasmine, dried lemon peel, and beeswax intermingle with vibrant citrus elements like white currant and mirabelle. The palate is full-bodied and firm, with solid tannins and a long, ample finish. Both James Suckling and Guia Penin have lauded this wine for its powerful, ripe fruit and balanced structure, making it a standout choice for those seeking both elegance and depth.
