Southern-facing vineyards in the sun-baked slate hills of Priorat and 60+ year old Carignan vines are not usually harbingers of floral elegance and silken grace. And yet this gap between expectation and stunning creation is precisely what makes Dits de Terra so iconic. The vineyard, one of the original Terroir al Lç©©mit holdings, honors the Cyprus trees that shade the historic Ermitas throughout the region. The grapes are hand harvested, fermented in whole bunches for 7 - 10 days in cement tanks, and then aged for 8 months in cement.
