Dominik Huber wanted the first white wine in his Terroir al Lç©©mit range to showcase the transcendental heights and essential importance of whites in Mediterranean cuisine. And so Pedra de Guix was born. An oxidative counterpoint to Terra de Cuques, Guix is a blend of old vines of the regions most important white varieties: Pedro Ximenez, Macabeo and Grenache Blanc. Steep slopes and concentrated fruit, together with a traditional approach in the cellar. Following a hand harvest, the whole bunches undergo a gentle basket pressing, vinification in cement tanks, and then aged for 8 months in cement. The PX is left alone to undergo a controlled oxidation before blending.
