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 in amphorae with a little Garnacha Gris from the same vineyard, and the Cariñena ferments in stainless steel (both with indigenous yeasts). Each component matured in those same vessels for six months before they were blended and bottled unfiltered.

About Coreografia Wines

Born in Serbia, Tatjana Peceric’s first memorable experiences with the culture of wine didn’t happen until she traveled to France as part of a traditional Serbian dance troupe. But, despite Serbia’s ancient winemaking traditions, it was touring across France and experiencing the synergy between regional cuisine and wine that set her on her future path.

So, when she had to choose what to study formally at university, she decided on a future as a winemaker and earned her degree in viticulture and pomology in Serbia before earning an MA while studying in France and Germany.

While working in Canada, Tatjana named three grape varieties as her favorites – Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay. While she probably mentioned them because those were the main varieties made by her employer, her comments provide insight into her philosophy about wine.

She named Pinot Noir because it required effort and intuition to get it right, Riesling for its liveliness and acidity, and Chardonnay for its ability to transmit terroir. Combining all these qualities makes understanding Tatjana’s approach far better than comparing her wines to her peers in either the Priorat or the Montsant.

When she joined Terroir al Limit, one stipulation she insisted upon was the freedom to create her own project in addition to overseeing enology for Terroir al Limit and Terroir Sense Fronteres. This project, Coreografia, is named in recognition of her first cultural passion
