Tasting Note
Strong golden yellow, bright and clear. The quarter of Muscat grapes in cuvée with three quarters of Pedro Ximinez is enough for plenty of Rambazamba in the nose. A gentle cloud of nutmeg literally hovers over the goblet and proportionally levels out the typical aromas of the mash fermentation, which the slow pressing in the vertical basket press brings with it. White fruits and bright flowers in the overtone range as well as aromas of anise, fennel seed and hawthorn decorate its robust nature. A wine that constantly reveals new facets of itself with increasing aeration. Fresh as the first spring breeze through open and freshly cleaned windows is the Terra de Cuques from Terroir al Limit. The muscat scatters white blossoms over the lush green meadow and the earth ferments, because spring is approaching. But it's not just a floral pint, it has the necessary bass and depth thanks to full whole cluster fermentation. With a grippy feel and contouring tannin, it is punchy and complex on the palate and is accelerated by the vibrant acidic nerve that accompanies it into the long, salty finish.

Terroir Al Limit
Dominik Huber started Terroir al Limit in 2004 with his friend Eben Sadie, a South African oenologist. The pair met in Priorat at Mas Martinet, and quickly became friends. Dominik, a native German with a growing interest in wines and gastronomy found in Eben the perfect partner to explore and understand the Catalan region. Since its founding, Terroir al Limit has slowly evolved its understanding of the Priorat as a region as capable as Burgundy in its complexity and potential to make elegant and transparent wines. The Torroja and Terra de Cuques are the village wines, Dits del Terra and Arbossar the Premier Crus, and Manyes and Tosses are the Grand Crus. Through his work with Eben Sadie, and now with the help of Serbian-born Tatjana Peceric (who in the past few years became the head winemaker at Terroir al Limit and its sister projects) Dominik Huber has changed the way the wines of the Priorat have been perceived, showing the world what this region is capable of: characterful wines which are elegant, approachable and explicit about its terroir.
