Dominik Huber, born and raised in Munich, Germany, has found his destiny in Priorat, where he founded Terroir al Limit together with legendary winemaker from South Africa Eben Sadie. He was the first one to fully stop using oak and move to cement, start harvesting earlier, make short maceration, making very pale, elegant and deep wines. Later he realized that for the hot and dry conditions on slate soils suits Carignan the best, Garnacha need more air and height. That how he found Montsant, where together with his winemaker Tatjana Peceric he founded Terroir Sense Fronteres, aiming to make the most ethereal Garnacha that Catalonia has ever seen.
