Cellar for 30 years or more. Decant for up to an hour before serving. Les Manyes is the pinnacle of Terroir al Límit’s line of red wines. It is alive with scents of smoke, wet stone and pungent black fruits. The fruits for this grape were harvested from a monastery in the Montsant mountains, a rugged, lonely landscape and a haven for hermits. Terroir al Límit is a winery that pays strong attention to terroir and its origin, and this is the perfect example of that. It was founded in 2001 by two friends, the German Dominik Huber and the South African Eben Sadie, who met while working on the Perez family’s vineyards at Mas Martinet, in Catalonia. They decided to make this region their home and set up shop in the esteemed appellation of Priorat. Les Manyes is a taste of the mountainside, brimming with flavours of wild herbs, thick black cherry, strong minerality and smoke. It is made from 100% Garnacha - this time of the “hairy” variety. Garnacha Peluda is an unusual variant of the Garnacha Tinta, sporting fine hair on the underside of its leaves that helps to conserve moisture. This is a wine with excellent structure and acidity, leading to a finish that coats the mouth with a pleasant bitterness. This is a great wine for pairing with desserts, such as tiramisu, or lightly seasoned red meat.
