SM Sumoll 2021

Sumoll is a red grape native to Penedès, here given the Partida treatment. That generally means the wine has life, vibrancy and is generous with the pleasure-factor. Sumoll is a dark, thick-skinned varietal that is capable of making some very heavy, tannic red wines. Here a certain freshness prevails, but the fruit has a lovely herbal, sappy depth to it, with plenty of spices coming through to finish. A bit of time in barrel rounds it out nicely without overpowering the wine. A delicious, decidedly Mediterranean affair.
