Terroir al Limit

Luis Gutierrez beschreibt Ihn wie folgt:

The Torroja Vi de Vila has been renamed and is now the 2017 Terra de Cuques. basically because they didn't find enough grapes in Torroja for this wine. In 2017. it's still fruit from Torroja. but in the future there will be grapes from other villages. There are strong notes of licorice. red berries and Mediterranean herbs. and it's aromatic. expressive. open. clean and. frankly. very attractive. Like many 2017s. it doesn't show any heat or excess ripeness. The oak foudres are getting older every year and lend less and less aromas and flavors. and the wines feel purer and purer. This is a super elegant blend of Garnacha and Cariñena that's really balanced and has symmetry. definition and delineation. as chiseled and precise as if laser cut. There's even some austerity on the palate. something I didn't expect from a richer vintage. 20.000 bottles produced.




 

Verkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 26. Juil 2019:

A fresh and bright red with blueberry and slate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Tight tannins and a steely finish. Shows energy and focus. No wood. Garnacha and cariñena. Drink now.



Verkostungsnotiz von Luis Gutierrez vom 30. August 2019:

I think the 2018 Terroir Históric follows the path of the 2016. with a little more freshness. and they have finally gotten rid of the reduction that this wine showed in some vintages. It has a clean and explosive nose of red cherries. licorice and fine spices and is clean and focused. pure. really attractive. There is perfect ripeness. enough to provide flavors and aromas without any excess. The palate is medium-bodied with great balance and is pure. delineated and terribly harmonious. 35.000 bottles produced. It's remarkable that they have been able to increase quantity and quality. It was bottled in May 2019.
