Terra de Cuques Blanc is a deep straw yellow in the glass, bursting with scents of white-fleshed fruit, flowers and minerality. After some time breathing, subtle hints of liquorice will appear. This white blend is composed of 60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Pedro Ximenez, making it a full-bodied, richly textured experience, unlike any other white wine you have tasted.

This is only the second white wine produced by Terroir al Límit, since the winery’s foundation in 2001. It is the brainchild of wine-maker Dominik Huber and enologist Eben Sadie, hailing from Germany and South Africa respectively. They met while working on Catalonian vineyards, and have come to know the region as well as any local. The fruits for this wine were harvested from La Morera de Montsant, a rugged and mountainous region of Tarragona in the northwest of Spain.

The palate is rife with rich, white fruits and summer flowers. It gives a first impression of rich, voluptuous character, before a nervy acidic side emerges underneath, with flavours of citrus and white currant. Terra de Cuques Blanc spent 6 months ageing in cement tanks before bottling. Consider pairing this wine with seafood, shellfish, or any dish with a lot of green herbs.
