About Pedra de Guix

Pedra de Guix is a white wine blend made from the varieties pedro ximénez, macabeo, and garnacha blanca, produced by Terroir al Límit under the D.O.Q. Priorat in Catalonia.

The grapes used to craft Pedra de Guix come from various plots situated at altitudes ranging from 400 to 600 meters. The pedro ximénez variety originates from vineyards in Lloar with clay soils, the macabeo grape hails from vineyards in Torroja del Priorat where alluvial soils predominate, and the garnacha blanca is sourced from vines in Poboleda planted in slate soils. The vines are between 50 and 80 years old and are cultivated under a biodynamic, non-interventionist approach.

In the production of Pedra de Guix, the three varieties are used in equal parts. After a manual harvest, the whole clusters undergo gentle basket pressing, vinification in cement tanks, and then aging for 8 months in cement. The pedro ximénez is left alone to undergo controlled oxidation before blending.

Dominik Huber is the driving force behind the winery Terroir al Límit, a true statement of intent. He works under a philosophy of minimal intervention, considering himself more an artisan than a winemaker, with the challenge of linking intellectuality, sensitivity, and practical work. This philosophy has led him to create expressive and elegant wines, which rank among the best and most sought-after in the world and are highly esteemed by international critics.

Yellow, almost straw colour with gold reflections. Bright. Dense tears on the glass.

Aromas of white fruit and citrus. Intense toasted notes, marked lactic notes and smooth spices. A very intense, mineral background.
