2018 Clos Lentiscus Sumoll Litrona, Penedès, Spain
$30.00
Sumoll planted back in 1939, grown organically and selected from parcels within 10ha of estate vineyards on calcareous sand at 200m in elevation. Hand harvested with 15 days of skin maceration (stems included). Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts happens in very old foudre and amphora for 1.5 years after harvest before being blended together and bottled just as a 1Liter, unfined, unfiltered, with zero SO2 (which is a key factor to the whole Litrona wine project!). A bright, fresh, higher acid and chillable light red. Only 500 cases in total made for the vintage.
