Luis Gutierrez - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Capçanes village red 2019 Negre was produced with 75% Garnacha and 25% Cariñena from organically farmed vineyards on clay soils, fermented in stainless steel with full clusters (they don't have a destemmer here or in Priorat) and bottled unoaked after six months. It has aromas of licorice and Mediterranean herbs. It has character and is light and ethereal, in the direction of the 2018, with fine-grained tannins and a stony sensation in the mouthfeel. This is incredible; it has 12.5% alcohol and is fluid, fresh and incredibly easy to drink. This is young but very approachable. 12,350 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2020.

Really perfumed and beautiful with lots of bright fruit and spices. Lots of lavender, too. It’s full-bodied with creamy tannins. Delicious finish. Drink or hold.
Product Description:
"Terroir Sense Fronteres is the Montsant project of Terroir al Limit. They are in Capçanes and produce 25,000 bottles per year. 2019 saw a 10% reduction of yields given the heat wave of June and July and the lack of rain during the season, but the crop was very healthy. It's a slightly riper vintage, but the wines here are fresher than the 2018s; it seems like they are still on their way up, understanding the vineyards and finding their way. They confessed that, for some of the wines from 2019, they think they have found what they are looking for and what they want to do with them. They have never worked with oak here and are very happy with the results, and in fact, they have applied all this to the Priorat project, where they have sold all their oak foudres (but one for the white Pedra de Guix) and the wines are matured exclusively in concrete starting in 2020." - Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Dec 2020
