The wine's story:
Pedra de Guix is Terroir al Límit’s flagship among its white wines – a rare Vi de Coster (single-slope wine) in Priorat. It combines grapes from three different soils and villages, showcasing the diversity of the region’s white terroir. Pedro Ximénez (clay soil – Lloar), Garnacha Blanca (slate – Poboleda), Macabeo (alluvial gravel – Torroja).
The wine is made with light skin contact and controlled oxidation, giving it a depth and texture partly reminiscent of fino sherry or old white Rioja. The 2022 vintage continues the trend of earlier outstanding years – ripe, yet precise and elegant.
Winemaking:
- Vines: 50–80 years old, at 400–600m altitude
- Fermentation: Separately, in used 500L French oak barrels
- Ageing: ~12 months in oak barrels, then a further 12 months in large foudres (~24 months in total)
- Unfiltered, with a light oxidative approach
- Alcohol: 13.5%
- Production: 3,800 bottles
Tasting notes:
Colour: straw yellow with a light golden hue
Aroma: Ripe yellow plum, baked apple, dried apricot, with wild herb and nutty notes. The llicorella slate adds a mineral and saline character.
Palate: Dry and layered – rich at first, with ripe citrus and pear, then a mineral, fresh finish revealing an elegant saline-bitter line. A light oxidative touch adds nuances of almond and wax.
Food pairing:
- Rich seafood (lobster in bisque sauce, seared scallops)
- Mushroom dishes and creamy pastas (truffle risotto, wild mushroom ragù)
- Salt-crusted baked fish, roast poultry
- Mature cheeses (Comté, Manchego, Valdeón blue)
- Exotic combinations (Thai coconut curry, chicken with lemon and olives)
Ageing potential:
- Drinking window: 2024–2035
- Best in 2026–2030, when youthful fruit and complex oxidative character come into balance
- Develops in an Amontillado-like direction, gaining spice and nutty tones
