The 2008 Pedra de Guix is the first vintage of the wine and is composed of 80% Garnacha Blanca and 20% Pedro Ximinez. Light gold in color, it displays an expressive perfume of mineral, floral notes, and melon. Smooth-textured, ripe, and mouth-filling, this concentrated, well-balanced, lengthy effort is likely to evolve for several years but can be approached now.
Terroir Al Limit is a true garage wine project focusing on the old vines around the village of Torroja. The philosophy of the estate is to capture the character of the terroir by minimizing the effect of winemaking to minimal processing and natural handling of the grapes. The vines are farmed biodynamically although they are not certified. There is one white wine in the portfolio, Pedra de Guix, made from a blend of Garnacha Blanca, Pedro Ximinez, and Macabeo. It is sourced from vines ranging in age from 48-78 years. The wine is aged for 24 months in 500-liter casks and bottled without fining or filtration. The red wines begin with the Vi de Vila cuvee consisting of equal parts Garnacha and Carinena aged for 24 months in 500-liter casks and foudres. The L’Arbossar vineyard cuvee (from 89-year-old vines) is 100% Carinena from a north facing site that is aged for 18 months in 18 HL foudres. The Dits del Terra vineyard cuvee (from 83-year-old vines) is 100% Carinena from a south facing site that is aged for 24 months in 18 HL foudres. The Les Manyes cuvee is 100% Garnacha from a 54-year-old vineyard that is aged for 24 months in 18 HL foudres. The Les Tosses cuvee is sourced from an 80-year-old Carinena vineyard that is aged for 24 months in 18 HL foudres.
