About the wine
In 2004, Dominik Huber and Eben Sadie started their Terroir al Limit project in the Priory with the help of the Pérez family. Nothing other than terroir should be bottled, excellent locations, old vines, cultivation according to biodynamic principles, spot fermentation, concrete and fuder instead of barrique. After only a few and experimental years, Dominik has now explored the limits of the terroir and implemented his vision more alone. Terroir al Limit is beguiling wines, Burgundy in the rock face, erotic black and white photographs, wines of exceptional elegance and mineral power. Great wines!

Tasting note
Dark mystical figure, everything very dark, night, you don't get to see her and yet very present - good news, nothing destructive, not a threat, but a protector. Dark but bright purple fruit and animalistic notes at a distance, very discreet and elegant, always remaining in the dark, coals, slate, but also very alert, no heaviness. Dark and elegant on the palate, again only in outline, very softly drawn, light as a shadow, dark fresh fruit, blueberries, cool and fresh, and all accompanied by a magical mineral tension. That is art — and entertainment!
Culinary recommendation
Recommended by Flaschenpöstlern: Terra de Cuques Negre DOQ goes well with burgers with blue cheese, spicy food and spicy dishes.
Vinification
Very selective reading by hand. Whole grape fermentation with the vineyard's own yeasts in concrete and stainless steel tanks, aging for 8 months also in concrete and stainless steel tanks.
