The 2015 Terroir al Limit Dits del Terra is a remarkable red wine from the Priorat region of Spain. With its elegant and perfumed nose, this wine immediately captivates the senses. Floral aromas intertwine with a clear mineral note, creating a harmonious bouquet that is both inviting and complex.
The vineyard where the grapes for this wine are grown is slightly warmer, but the balance achieved here is truly exceptional. Despite the warmth, there is no hint of heat in the wine. The use of older foudres, which are neutral in character, allows the wine to age gracefully and develop a velvety texture. The tannins in this wine are of exceptional quality and refinement, providing a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. It is a testament to the winemaker's skill that a rustic grape grown in a rustic place can achieve such elegance and liveliness on the palate.
The Cariñena grape, known for its freshness, is showcased beautifully in this 2015 vintage. In fact, it is even fresher than in the Arbossar, another wine from the same producer. This wine demonstrates that Cariñena is the ideal grape for warmer areas with slate soils.
