Terroir Al Limit was founded by Eben Sadie and Dominik Huber in 2001. Sadie brought his background as one of South Africa’s most admired young winemakers and Huber was a wine enthusiast with a career in business. The pair bought grapes in 2001 and make their first Dits de Terra. In the following years they added cuvées to reflect the terroir of Priorat and applied Burgundian style winemaking to their process. Their goal is always to aim for elegance rather than sheer power. Sadie left Terroir al Limit in 2011 to focus on winemaking in South Africa, and Huber has taken over all operations, including winemaking. Besides making Carignan and Grenache-based reds, Terroir al Limit makes whites from such indigenous grapes as Pedro Ximenez and Macabeo. Wine Advocate often rates the wines in the mid-90s, and noted that the estate’s “wines seem to be going from strength to strength, with great definition, delineation and freshness, more transparent to the terroir, more about the place than the varietal…”
