This project was started back in 2001 by Dominik Huber (wine and food obsessive) and winemaker Eben Sadie, when they both fell in love with Priorat. Eben now solely focuses on his South African wines but Dominik has driven the business forward, implementing biodynamic principles in the vineyards and minimal intervention winemaking, letting the fruit really express itself. The fact that these pure, expressive wines now enjoy cult status is a testament to Dominik's vision and hard work and we're pleased to be able to list both the Terra de Cuques Blanco and, this, the Tinto. I didn't write an extensive note on this as I was too busy enjoying the bottle but it's made from 100 year old vines and packed with blackcurrants, blackberries and cherry along with liquorice notes. It's really fine on the palate with those dark fruits accompanied by little hints of raspberry, spice, minerals and tobacco. It's so elegant and fresh with lovely mouthfeel and balance but with the structure to develop well in bottle. Very, very good indeed and difficult to get hold of so grab a few while you can.
