Unlike the site specific wines of Terroir al L穩mit, Terroir Hist簷ric is devoted to expressing the complex character of the whole of Priorat in two colors: white and red. While the project launched in 2015 is a remarkable incubator for new plantings from the clay and schist soils of Montsant, it is also a liquid homage, utilizing the n矇gocient tradition of the past to secure a sustainable future. Terroir Hist簷ric encourages young farmers to not only return to family vineyards in the regions 9 villages in and around Torroja, but also transition these family vines to organic farming. Hist簷ric Negre is a blend of Priorats traditional red varieties: Grenche Noir (75 %) and Cari簽ena (25 %).
