Terroir al Límit Dits del Terra 2022
HK$ 752.00
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
It's always interesting to compare wines from the different vineyards, and the 2022 Dits del Terra is unusually floral and silky. The Cariñena vines planted 60 years ago at 300 meters above sea level are south-facing, and the wine achieved 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.7. This was quite surprising, a warmer place in a warmer year delivered a more elegant, fresh, floral and aromatic wine. Cariñena can sometimes surprise you like that. It matured in concrete and is nicely textured with fine-grained tannins, with grip, energy and balance. It's a surprising version of this wine that transcends the character of the year. 4,516 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

Description
Nestled in the sunny south-facing slate hills of Priorat, Terroir al Límit Dits del Terra is born, a wine that defies expectations. Produced from Carignan vineyards over 60 years old, this wine is not what one would typically expect from such old and robust vines. However, it is precisely this gap between expectation and surprising creation that makes Dits de Terra so iconic.
The vineyard, one of Terroir al Límit's original vineyards, pays homage to the cypress trees that shade the region's historic Hermitages. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented with whole bunches for 7 to 10 days in concrete tanks and then aged for 8 months in concrete.
Taste
The care and attention with which Terroir al Límit Dits del Terra is made elevates it to a fine, complex and fluid expression of different terroirs. Despite the darkness in the glass, it surprises with an ephemeral lightness in aroma and flavour. Airy black fruits and lingering herbaceousness enhance the soft spice and suspended movement across the palate. Notes of anise, fresh fennel and rose are underscored by a fluid web of balsamic accents, never heavy or broad.
