Pedra de Guix Blanc

Spain
Priorat
2021

While Dominik Huber produces two white wines at Terroir al Limit, they are made quite differently. Dominik refers to Pedra de Guix as his “oxidative” white, while Terra de Cuques is his “skin contact” white. Guix is a blend of old-vines of Pedro Ximenez on clay soils in the village of Lloar, Macabeu on alluvial soils in the village of Poboleda, and Garnatxa Blanca on schist in the village of Torroja. After harvesting these varieties by hand, they are brought to the cellar and placed in a basket press where they are gently pressed over several hours into a concrete vat. Once aged in demi-muids, Dominik and Tatjana now prefer the more subtle oxidative aging of Stockinger foudre.

"Equal blends of Pedro Ximenez, Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca from differing plots around Priorat, co-fermented in cement tanks. Focused, bright and precise, with notes of fresh lemon, fresh orchard fruits, jasmine and beeswax. Incredibly focused, persistent acidity lights the palate up, carrying the flavours into an effortlessly long, citric finish. 2022-2032"
