Pedra de Guix 2021

Wine description for Pedra de Guix 2021 from Terroir al Limit

Colour & appearance

Bright gold with amber-coloured reflections - a white wine that already reveals its artisanal origin visually.

Nose

The bouquet unfolds with Mediterranean elegance: Herbs of the garrigue meet delicate floral aromas, underpinned by a fine oxidative note reminiscent of ripe apples and honey. Despite the traditional pressing method, the nose is surprisingly fresh and lively - a balancing act between tradition and modernity.

Palate

The true class of this exceptional white wine is revealed on the palate. The silky, polished texture carries citric freshness and finely spiced complexity. The salty minerality on the long finish is particularly impressive - a fingerprint of the Priorat's slate soils. At 13.5% alcohol, the wine remains elegant and easy to drink.

General information

Dominik Huber's Pedra de Guix is a fascinating homage to Andalusian wine tradition, interpreted through the prism of Priorat. The cuvée made from one third each Pedro Ximénez, Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca comes from 50-80 year old, biodynamically cultivated vines. The decision to forgo wood ageing in favour of cement tanks gives the 2021 a clearer, less oxidative orientation than previous vintages.

Food pairing suggestions

This characterful white wine harmonises perfectly with grilled prawnsbut also with Roasted fish, Paella or matured Manchego. Its salty minerality makes it the ideal accompaniment to Mediterranean cuisine.

Special features

The traditional basket pressing between mats produces a controlled oxidation that gives the wine its unmistakable character. A prime example of how tradition and contemporary winemaking can be combined to create an authentic, independent style.
