Coreografia Montsant 2022

Previously labelled as Pas de Deux. While the vineyards of Terroir Sense Fronteres lie in La Figuera and Capçanes (in Montsant’s south), Tatjana Peceric’s label sees her explore the region’s cooler, higher vineyards of Cornudella de Montsant, the DO’s northernmost village. Here she works with a close friend who farms what Peceric terms a “beautiful biodynamic garden” at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level. The site’s mature, 50-plus-year-old vines are rooted in light red clay with gypsum veins. The terroir, alongside Peceric’s retro/modern winemaking, draws out a higher-toned, more floral and edgy expression of Montsant’s two principal red varieties, Garnacha and Cariñena (Carignan).

The winemaking mirrors that of Peceric's work with Terroir Sense Fronteres. Infusion over extraction reigns supreme; there is no destemming, no oak, and any maceration is extremely gentle and powered by foot. The Garnacha co-ferments with indigenous yeasts in amphorae with a little Garnacha Gris from the same vineyard, and the Cariñena spontaneously ferments in stainless steel. Each component matured in those same vessels for six months before they were blended and bottled unfiltered.
