2016 Terroir al Límit Vi de Coster Dits del Terra, Priorat

Red capsule (equivalent of 1er Cru level). The Dits del Terra can be thought of as L’Arbossar’s south-facing sibling. It is also 100% Cariñena, from three schist-rich sites where the vines are more than 80 years old. It was aged in a six-year-old, 3,500-litre Stockinger cask. The south-facing terroir brings more flesh and power, so Huber infuses the juice very gently, simply using a jug to pour juice over the top of the whole bunches. Jugotage! This is a much more layered, hedonistic and seductive expression of Priorat than the L’Arbossar although it’s still bright and fine with tremendous succulence and finesse. 

“This really sexy and exciting with amazing purity of fruit and complex, mineral and slate character. Super fine silk over velvet texture. Full body. Firm. Great length. Amazing. Drink or hold.”
