THE PRODUCER
Despite being a relative latecomer to Priorat, Dominik Huber arrived in 2001 and
within twenty years has created wines that are heralded even within the context
of the very best of Priorat. Farming according to organically and biodynamic
principles, the vineyards rise from 350 to 800 meters. These are wines of
amazing freshness and finesse, wines that speak of their terroir in more
delicate tones; yet wines that don’t lack in depth and richness of flavor.

Terroir al Limit produces an exemplary range of wines – both white and red -
from various plots in Priorat and neighbouring Monstant. This is an estate that
does not stand still and quality seems to remain on an ascendant. The top cuvees
show the two faces of the traditional Priorat grape varieties. We currently
focus on top cuvee Les Manyes, along with single vineyards Les Tosses and
L’Arbosar, and the white ‘Pedra de Guix’.

THE WINE

Arbossar is made from up to 90+ year old Carignan vines growing in the
north-facing 1.6-hectare L’Arbossar vineyard, at 400 meters altitude. Grapes are
fermented whole bunch and the wine is then left to age for 12-16 months in
cement tanks to preserve purity and terroir expression. Arbossar has layers of
ripe and succulent blue and red fruits, with a generous yet chiseled texture and
herbaceous finish. Only around 4,000 bottles are produced of each vintage.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
