From a 4 acre vineyard of 89 year old Carinyena vines. L'Arbossar is the most muscular of the Terroir Al Limit line-up. It shows explosive aromas of black cherry, plum, apricot, and lavender — an aromatic ringer for top tier Garnacha. The palate has great depth with smoky minerals, sinewy texture, an excellent range of fruit flavors, and grippy tannins. I would have this with a baroque cocido (a stew of mixed boiled and smoked meats like Italy's bollito misto). A real treat!

Description
Terroir al Limit, which was launched in 2004 in the heart of the Priorat region by the famous South African winemaker Eben Sadie and his associate the German entrepreneur Dominik Hubre, is one of the most high-profile vineyards in the appellation. Its original approach breaks free from the rules of traditional vinification. In a terroir planted with old wines, over a hundred years in age, managed according to biodynamic principles, the two men produce truly exceptional and very subtle Priorats with a fresh kick.
