Terroir al Límit Pedra de Guix 2022
60.14₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The white 2022 Pedra de Guix is a coupage of old-vine 40% Garnacha Blanca and 30% each Pedro Ximénez and Macabeo that fermented with full clusters for three days and matured in concrete for eight months. It has 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.58 and 4.6 grams of acidity. It has a very reductive personality and was not easy to read. It took a long time in the glass to dissipate the reduction and unfurl aromas of yellow fruit, stone fruit, wet chalk and a stony sensation. It has a chalky texture, clean and tasty flavors, with some austerity. This is the second year when the wines are not in oak foudre anymore, and it's all in concrete. 4,508 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

Description
Dominik Huber wanted the first white wine in his Terroir al Límit range to show the transcendental heights and the essential importance of whites in Mediterranean cuisine. Thus Terroir al Límit Pedra de Guix was born. An "oxidative" counterpoint to Terra de Cuques, Guix is a blend of old vines of the region's most important white varieties: Pedro Ximenez, Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca. Steep slopes and concentrated fruit, along with a traditional approach in the cellar.
Winemaking
After manual harvesting, the whole bunches are gently basket pressed, fermented in concrete tanks and then aged for 8 months in concrete. The Pedro Ximenez is left alone to undergo controlled oxidation before blending.
Taste
Terroir al Límit Pedra de Guix 's hands-off biodynamic approach reflects a flavour that captivates over time, revealing a velvety smooth beauty that drifts with waves of citrus, nuts and flowers across the palate. It is rich, smooth and ripe. As it oxygenates, it becomes fresher in the glass, developing tension and depth. A mouth-watering salinity stands out, faithfully expressing the soils of the region: clay, alluvial and slate. It is an authentic expression of tradition and origin, which is not limited to being a simple wine to serve and drink.
