jebdunnuck.com, February 2018

Also 100% Carinyena fermented with 100% stems, yet from a slightly warmer terroir, the 2015 Dits del Terra is more rounded, supple and sexy, with tons of kirsch, black raspberries, pepper, incense and iris aromas and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2018

The 2015 Dits del Terra has a beautiful nose that is very elegant and perfumed, with floral aromas and a clear mineral note from early on. This is a slightly warmer vineyard (the one originally worked by Eben Sadie); but...

A solid and structured, single vineyard wine with blue and black fruits, stones and flowers. Medium to full body, silky and fine tannins. Very compacted. Vertical. Drink in 2020.

Vinous, April 2019

Deep magenta color. Powerful red/dark berry, candied licorice and exotic spice scents are complemented by suggestions of smoky minerals. A sexy floral nuance builds with air. Alluringly sweet and energetic on the palate...

Wine & Spirits, October 2018

This comes from a 90-year-old vineyard in the town of Torroja; it was the first vineyard Dominik Huber purchased when he started Terroir al Limit in 2001. It’s a beautiful expression of carignan, concentrated, firm in...

Decanter, October 2017

This wine is pure 85 year old Carinyena grown in a south facing site lying between Torroja del Priorat and Poboleda. The grapes are picked as early as possible, left as whole cluster, and given a very gentle infusion-like...

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.

The 2015 Terroir al Limit Dits del Terra is a limited production wine, with only 4,600 bottles filled in May 2017. It has received high praise from critics, including a score of 95 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Decanter awarded it 92 points, highlighting its elegance, energy, and poise. James Suckling also gave it a score of 94 points, noting its solid structure and fine tannins.

This wine is a true gem from Terroir al Limit, showcasing the unique terroir of the Priorat region. It is a wine that will continue to evolve and impress with age, making it a worthy addition to any wine connoisseur's collection.
