Reine Grenache auf Schiefer in Steillage. 800 Meter hoch, direkt auf der Grenze vom Priorat ins Montsant. DAS ist archetypisch für Terroir al Limit, für Dominique Huber. Amphoren, Ganztraube, state of the art. Graphite und Mineralität mit extrem dichter Blaubeere und konzentrierter Himbeere. Tolle Schärfe im Mund, Piement Pfeffer mit Chilli. Rote Früchte, Beeren, Blumen. Das ist atemberaubend einzigartiger Stoff.

Der Ausnahme-Jahrgang 2022 gilt in Spanien als historischer Meilenstein. Trotz Rekordhitze bestechen die Weine dank kühler Sommernächte mit verblüffend tiefen pH-Werten, spektakulärer Säurefrische und seidigen Tanninen – eine grandiose, perfekt balancierte Dichte auf Augenhöhe mit dem großen Bordeaux-Jahrgang.

Zum Jahrgangsbericht

Parker über: Montsant Guix Vermell

The red Garnacha 2022 Guix Vermell comes from the Els Montalts vineyard at 800 meters above sea level close to Les Manyes from Terroir al Limit on red clay and gypsum soils planted 50 years ago. It fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts in concrete for six to eight days and matured in concrete for six months. This is riper at 14.5% alcohol and with a higher pH and lower acidity. As soon as you see it, you know it's different; it has a darker color than the rest of the range. This part of the vineyard, which is quite large, over four hectares, has very balanced plants, but they still don't know about the soils, which they are going to study next year. They let the grapes achieve full ripeness and development of aromas and flavors. They also do a little bit more extraction, but still very mild, and the wine has more stuffing and structure than the other reds. The aromas are a combination of red and black fruit, flowers and wild herbs, a little more Mediterranean this year. It's very tasty with pungent flavors and fine tannins. Only 468 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Montsant Guix Vermell

From Els Montalts, the 2022 Guix Vermell is intended as a Grand Cru and it succeeds, a gorgeous testament to Montsant, the grapes selected specifically from the best part of the vineyard for this wine. Fruit is whole-cluster vinified in concrete tank for 7-8 days using native yeast and then aged in concrete for another six months. Another year in bottle aims to continue the evolution. White pepper, graphite, and sanguine meaty notes define the 100% Garnatxa, with a generous, full-bodied expressiveness of tremendous finesse, firm tannin, and the structure to age another 20 years.

Tim Atkin über: Montsant Guix Vermell

2022 shines through here, with ripe, mixed berry fruits, licorice, white pepper and delicious, sappy herbal tones. Flashes of darker fruits on the palate but this is still very much in the detailed, delicate style of the winery. A remarkable wine.

Penin über: Montsant Guix Vermell

Wild, elegant und von der Farbe kirschrot. In der Nase komplex, ausdrucksvoll, würzig, mineralisch, mit Aromen von dunklen Früchten, roten Früchten, schwarzem Pfeffer und getrockneten Blumen. Im Mund elegant, voll, lang und nachhaltig.
