Product description for Terroir Sense Fronteres Marcenca 2022

Wine Information

The Terroir Sense Fronteres winery classifies its wines according to the Burgundian model, with the red wine Marcenca taking the place of Premier Cru. The Garnacha grapes come from the Els Montalts vineyard in the Catalan Montsant wine-growing region. The vineyard has clay and gypsum soils and is located at an altitude of 800 meters—winegrowing doesn’t go much higher in Montsant. The biodynamically farmed vines are around 50 years old. Winemaker Dominik Huber and winemaker Tatjana Peceric ferment the grapes with the stems and rely on gentle extraction. The wine is aged exclusively in concrete tanks.

Colour

Transparent, pale red

Nose

The 2022 vintage will only unfold its full beauty with time. The Marcenca is not a wine that seeks to make a big impression quickly. The nose is floral and mineral, but also very purist and elegantly restrained. After some time in the air, the bouquet’s super-elegant and complex nature becomes apparent. As the saying goes: Still waters run deep. This is a wine that rests within itself.

Palate

On the palate, too, this wine appears as clear and pure as a mountain stream. Nothing distracts from the essentials here; the Marcenca is a wine without any makeup. It is fascinating to see and taste how much complexity, personality, and depth lies within this simplicity. The 2022 vintage features elegant, fine tannins, a silky, almost waxy texture, and a long, spicy finish. With its freshness, spice, and finesse, this lean red wine is typical of the Garnacha grape variety and the so-called “New Wave of Spanish Garnacha.” On the other hand, it’s completely unique. That must be due to the terroir.
