Pedra de Guix 2021

Wine Description for Pedra de Guix 2021 by Terroir al Limit

Colour & Appearance

Luminous gold with amber reflections – a white wine that reveals its artisanal origins at first glance.

Nose

The bouquet unfolds with Mediterranean elegance: garrigue herbs meet delicate floral aromas, underpinned by a subtle oxidative note reminiscent of ripe apples and honey. Despite the traditional pressing method, the nose is remarkably fresh and vibrant – a balancing act between tradition and modernity.

Palate

On the palate, the true class of this extraordinary white wine reveals itself. The silky-textured mouthfeel carries citric freshness and fine spicy complexity. Particularly impressive is the saline minerality in the long finish – a fingerprint of the slate soils of Priorat. At 13.5% alcohol, the wine remains elegant and approachable.

General Information

Dominik Huber’s Pedra de Guix is a fascinating homage to Andalusian wine tradition, interpreted through the prism of Priorat. The cuvée, composed of equal thirds of Pedro Ximénez, Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca, comes from 50-80 year old vines farmed biodynamically. The decision to forgo oak ageing in favour of cement tanks gives the 2021 a clearer, less oxidative character than earlier vintages.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This characterful white wine pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, but also with roasted fish, paella or aged Manchego. The saline minerality makes it an ideal companion to Mediterranean cuisine.

Special Features

The traditional basket pressing between mats creates a controlled oxidation that gives the wine its distinctive character. A prime example of how tradition and contemporary winemaking combine to create an authentic, distinctive style.
