Grape – Sumoll

Most conventional wine makers will use animal products for fining their wine, such as egg white or casein. Fining being the process of removing the fine particulate matter after the fermentation process such as yeast cells and proteins, to make the wine crystal clear.

Natural wine makers on the other hand eschew intervention and strive for as little manipulation in the wine making process as possible. They will therefore avoid filtration and fining and with it the need for any animal products, resulting in vegan friendly wines.

Therefore you will often find natural wines have a noticeable amount of sediment in the bottle, or appear hazy or cloudy. Natural winemakers tend to use the process of racking as the sole method of removing as much of the sediment from fermentation as possible. The wine will be allowed to settle in its fermentation vessel so as much sediment as possible settles at the bottom. The resulting clearer wine is then pumped to a new vessel with the sediment left behind.

Sumoi Barmei 2022

Light-bodied, with barely-there tannins, cherry, raspberry and damson fruits, Mediterranean pantry herbs and spices. This vintage sees a much riper, rounded fruit profile than the crunchier 2021, and is giving off a seductive floral perfume of dusty crushed violet flowers, which we can't get enough of.

Sumoll Amphora 2022

An impossibly bright, vibrant wine with a tightly-coiled energy. The red fruits are of the tart, salty variety; sour cherry, cranberry, strawberry balsamic and gummy sweets with a detailed fine-grained grip and wide open aromas.

Partida Creus
SM Sumoll Tinto 2020

In a typically Partida style, here we have an obscure, forgotten Catalan varietal thrown into the spotlight. The fruit is dark and sappy, with a sun-kissed Mediterranean warmth to it. Upfront acidity keeps things zippy and fresh. Find out more.

Al Rosa L'Amor S'hi Posa 2022

Savoury white pepper aromatics of Xarel-lo are the first thing to meet you from the glass, blended with Macabeu and given a twinge of peachy pink colour from a dash of Sumoll in the mix. This is real low-gravity, zingy breakfast wine sort of territory. Find out more.
