Límite Sur ('at the southern edge') is a Garnacha grown in cooler north-facing vineyards. In the winery it spends six months in concrete, or amphorae, or large oak, followed by 10 months in French oak. Bold, rounded expression of fruit, enriched by oak influence, showing white pepper, mint, fine tannin and a very long finish.
