2021 Terroir al Límit Priorat Arbossar

The 2021 Arbossar showcases Terroir al Límit’s mastery of Carignan, offering a fresh, floral expression from one of Priorat’s most distinctive high-altitude vineyards.

Sourced from a steep, north-facing 1.6-hectare vineyard of 100+ year-old Carignan near Torroja, this Vi de Coster (1er Cru equivalent) benefits from cooler exposures and schist-granite soils, producing a fresher, more refined style. The vineyard, acquired in 2005, has been instrumental in shaping Dominik Huber’s approach to showcasing Priorat’s diverse microclimates. The wine is crafted with 100% whole-bunch fermentation, wild yeasts, and aged exclusively in concrete for 16 months, preserving its purity and focus.

Arbossar offers a floral, medium-bodied expression of Carignan, with layers of red fruit, white pepper, and a mineral-driven freshness. The refined tannins and precise acidity give it a balance and finesse rarely seen in Priorat, earning its reputation as one of the region’s most elegant reds.

This is a wine for those seeking the intersection of tradition and innovation, delivering a Burgundy-like finesse with the soul of Spain and the precision of a masterful artisan.

"A naked beauty... huge nose with fresh yet ripe blue fruit, flowers, and white pepper. Lasting almost a minute with pure fruit."

"Clean and precise, like a laser cut... red rather than black fruit, medium-bodied with very fine tannins. A surprisingly elegant Cariñena."
- Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate)
