With this idea to create an all-encompassing\nview of Priorat, the vineyards for Históric cover multiple soil types and\nterroirs across these concertinaed hills: from slate to clay and granite to\nalluvial soils; from \u003ci\u003eaubagues\u003c\/i\u003e (shady spots) to \u003ci\u003esolanes\u003c\/i\u003e (sunny\nspots); and from 350 to 800 metres in altitude.

A healthy dose of the\nGrenache was grown in La Morera, high in the Montsant ranges on clay\/limestone\nsoils. The remainder of the fruit came from vines throughout Priorat, grown on\nslate and schist, providing savoury minerality. Fermented as whole clusters\nwith indigenous yeasts, the wine was then aged for six months in a 5,000-litre\nconcrete tank.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terroir al Límit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46495409668334,"sku":"24994-750","price":44.72,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/files\/6da389ba-1931-f011-ac43-02954333b573_24994-750.png?v=1747271426"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bibendum.com.au\/collections\/catalunya.oembed?page=2","provider":"Bibendum Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
