Terroir al Limit Priorat Les Manyes 2018

Details

“Terroir al Límit is one of the names that are defining the Priorats of the 21st century. They don't have a destemmer here (or in Montsant), and all their wines ferment with indigenous yeasts, so the wines are about naked expression of the grapes and places, wines of great purity.” Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate.

“These are wines that offer intensity of flavour instead of overwhelming power, and elegance and personality on a world-class level.” Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate.

“Next level wines. I can think of few Spanish producers making wines of such excitement, charisma and transparent-feeling representation of place. Terroir al Límit produce cuvees of skeletal architecture, and filigreed expression of grape varieties, like no other from Priorat, let alone Spain.” Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.

"I think the 2018 Les Manyes is more in line with the 2016 than the 2017 is, more elegant, precise, fresh and subtle. This is very young and undeveloped, very primary, a bit shy, and it takes time to take off in the glass to reveal notes of violets and strawberry leaf, elegant and nuanced. The palate is very balanced and elegant—it's a very pretty wine. This is very young and needs air and time in the glass if you open a bottle any time soon. My guess is that this is gong to develop very slowly in bottle, developing complexity and nuance with time. It's a superb vintage for Les Manyes."
99 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate.
