Foresta Sumoll 2021
Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainDescribed as one of the great red varieties of Catalonia, I found this sumoll to be underwhelming. It is fermented and aged in used French oak barrels for eight months. The fruit comes off the Garraf Massif about 30 minutes from Madrid by car off 60 hectares in the village of Arboçar and its surroundings. The vineyards are planted on terraces with centuries old dry stone walls. The topsoil is so shallow that the roots immediately come up against a bed of limestone rock. The site is warm but cooled by mid-winds that blow up from the Mediterranean. Savoury and wrapped in dried herbs, its red fruit and bright florals are buried under the desert scrub and resiny notes.Tasted: 24 August 2023Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $55.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Grape by Grape |
