Info
Tatjana Peceric has been a full-time head winemaker at Terroir al Limit for several years. Together with Dominik Huber, she established their new project Terroir sense Fronteres in Montsant. Pas de Deux is now her own wine project from Montsant. 2018 is the first vintage and is made from the region's main grape varieties, Garnacha and Cariñena. Translated, Pas de Deux means a dance of two and represents the final act in many ballet performances. The two grape varieties are to be understood as the main actors.
Color
Rich cherry red, bright reflections.
Nose
What an overwhelming encounter. The wine smells of dark chocolate. Unexpected, but all the better for it, as the chocolate doesn't seem sweet, heavy-handed or concentrated. Earthy notes and beetroot join in. Fresh almonds and a subtle herbal nuance. Also tart cherry and sour cherry can be perceived.
Palate
The first nose of chocolate loses itself in the impression of the palate. The earthy notes are wonderfully carried by light bitters. The tannin makes itself noticed restrainedly, but exactly in the right measure. Above all, it is elegant and light on its feet. Juicy and with a lot of drinking flow, this is a contemporary interpretation of red wine that leaves room for the flavors of today's cuisine.
Garnacha and Cariñena offer an alternating bath of light and dark, sweet and sour at the same time. Dancing and playful. Just like at the ballet.
