Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A white blend of 70% Garnacha Blanca and 30% Pedro Ximénez, the 2022 Terra de Cuques Blanc comes from younger, 25- to 30-year-old vines on slate soils. It fermented with full clusters for three to five days in concrete and stainless steel and matured in concrete for six months. It has a little less alcohol (13%) and mellow acidity. It has a beautiful bright yellow color and a very expressive nose of pollen, beeswax, chamomile tea, dry flowers, a little balsamic, showy and clean. The palate is tasty, with lightness, elegance and purity, very tasty flavors and a soft texture. 8,908 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023.

Description
Terroir al Límit Terra de Cuques Blanc is a rich and textured expression of Priorat. This wine comes from the slate and clay vines of La Morera del Montsant, which are between 25 and 30 years old. It is located at an altitude of between 400 and 600 metres above sea level. The blend is composed of 60% Garnacha Blanca and 40% Pedro Ximénez.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with whole bunches for 5 days in stainless steel and cement tanks. Afterwards, the wine is aged for 6 months in cement.
Taste
Terra de Cuques Blanc presents itself with a rich, fino-like character, but as it develops on the palate, it reveals remarkable tension and freshness. Citrus layers of white currant, plum and spring flowers are prominent, offering a singular expression that defies traditional expectations of a white wine. This unique expression is testament to the combination of winemaking techniques and the unmistakable voice of the sites from which the grapes originate. It is a wine that combines tension, freshness and a depth that truly reflects the Priorat region.
