Vi de Coster, the equivalent of 1er Cru wine. The Dits del Terra can be thought of as Arbossar’s south-facing sibling. It is also 100% Cariñena, from three schist-rich sites where the vines are more than 80 years old. Dits del Terra was one of the first vineyards that Huber and his then-partner, Eben Sadie, acquired when they started making wine together in Priorat. The south-facing terroir brings more flesh and power, yet also beautiful acidity. This site is currently undergoing organic certification, although the viticulture is, as always, biodynamic.

Huber and Peceric infuse the juice very gently, simply using a jug to pour juice over the top of the whole bunches. From 2021 this wine has been vinified entirely in concrete, so this is the last vintage that has been partially aged in a 3,500-litre Stockinger cask (there will be no release from 2020).

Chiselled, lacey and refined, it’s a beautifully balanced release, flush with pure berry fruit, spice and mineral flavour. The palate is deep and supple with succulent fruit interwoven with all kinds of spice, Mediterranean herbs and floral notes. The finish is long and perfumed with fine, energetic tannins and refreshing lift.

Reviews

“The wines are very transparent with the vintage, and the 2019 Dits del Terra shows the openness of the year, a wine that is expressive and aromatic, charming and approachable but still serious and very mineral with fine tannins. Part of the wine matured in oak foudre, making it a little more classical. It has 14% alcohol but feels very balanced, and the alcohol doesn't show.”
95 points, Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
“Understated and composed nose of blueberries, grapefruit, crushed slate and wild herbs with hints of cement, white pepper and violets. Firm and immaculate tannins on the medium-bodied palate with fresh, natural acidity. Lots of harmony here. An exciting carignan with lots of freshness and finesse.”
