Description

The 2021 Dits del Terra is a masterful expression of old-vine Carignan, showcasing the balance of power and finesse that defines Terroir al Límit’s approach to Priorat.

Sourced from three biodynamically farmed vineyards with vines over 80 years old, this Vi de Coster (1er Cru equivalent) thrives on south-facing, schist-rich slopes near Torroja. These warmer aspects lend the wine depth and concentration, while careful biodynamic practices and gentle winemaking ensure vibrancy and precision. Crafted entirely in concrete to preserve purity, the 2021 vintage sees lower alcohol and shorter aging, highlighting the wine’s remarkable freshness and mineral complexity.

Bright and lively, it offers supple tannins, refined acidity, and layers of herbal and floral notes alongside ripe berry fruit. The mineral-driven finish lingers with elegance, earning it comparisons to the great wines of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. This vintage captures the soul of its rugged terroir while reflecting Dominik Huber’s commitment to restrained, site-driven winemaking.

Dits del Terra is a benchmark for Priorat reds, delivering a unique combination of depth, purity, and sophistication from one of the region’s most iconic producers.

"Purity and precision, elegance and freshness... lower alcohol and more freshness with an herbal note, aged completely in concrete."
- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)

"Extremely bright and lively... meaty fruit with so much verve and purity. Long and broad finish."
- Zekun Shuai (James Suckling)

96 points - "The 2021 Dits del Terra shows lower alcohol and more freshness, and it has an herbal note and feels very young and undeveloped. Like most of the 2021s, they shortened the time of aging, and it was completely in concrete and didn't touch any oak (they sold all the foudres). There's purity and precision, elegance and freshness." - Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)

96 points - "Reductive and a little decadent on the nose with some dried roses, ripe berries, wet earth and moss. Extremely bright and lively on the fleshy palate with lots of sap, succulent and fine, firm tannins. Meaty fruit with so much verve and purity. Long and broad finish. Drink or hold." - Zekun Shuai (James Suckling)

Dits del Terra is a Vi de Coster, the equivalent of a 1er Cru, and can be considered the south-facing counterpart to Arbossar. Made from 100% Carignan, it comes from three schist-rich sites with vines over 80 years old. This was one of the first vineyards acquired by Dominik Huber and Eben Sadie when they began making wine in Priorat, and its south-facing aspect imparts greater flesh and power while retaining beautiful acidity.

The vineyard is farmed biodynamically and is currently undergoing organic certification. The winemaking is gentle and precise, with the juice poured over whole bunches using a jug to ensure a delicate infusion. Since 2021, the wine has been vinified entirely in concrete, emphasizing purity and vibrancy.

This vintage shines with brightness and charm, offering svelte tannins and precise acidity that taper to a lingering, mineral-driven finish. Its combination of power and finesse has earned it the nickname "Priorat-Chambertin," and it’s easy to see why.

Terrroir al Limit

Terroir al Límit is a winery redefining the boundaries of Priorat, one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. Founded in 2001 by Dominik Huber and South African winemaker Eben Sadie, this project has become a beacon for a new style of Priorat—where finesse, balance, and purity take precedence over power and opulence.

Rooted in the rugged hills of Catalonia, Terroir al Límit embraces the philosophy that great wines are born in the vineyard. Old vines of Garnatxa and Carinyena, grown biodynamically on steep slate soils, provide the foundation. In the cellar, minimal intervention is key: whole-bunch fermentation, concrete tanks, and short macerations preserve the vibrancy and soul of the fruit. Oak barrels? A thing of the past.

Huber’s wines are a revelation—ethereal reds and textural whites that offer a fresh, almost Burgundian-like perspective on Priorat. Flagship wines like Les Manyes and Les Tosses showcase single vineyards with astounding clarity and depth, while Pedra de Guix redefines what a white Priorat can be.

With a vision rooted in sustainability and respect for tradition, Terroir al Límit is leading the charge for a lighter, more expressive future for Priorat—and Spanish wine as a whole.
