Can Sumoi La Rosa, 2024, 750ml
$22
Description
La Rosa is a blend of two indigenous Catalan grape varieties: Sumoll and Xarel·lo. These were harvested by hand from vines grown in limestone soils at 2,000 feet above sea level, pressed, and left to sit in contact with the juice for two hours. Fermented in stainless steel tanks using indigenous, La Rosa underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation. With only 2 hours of skin contact, this dry rose made from 60% Sumoll and 40% Xarel-lo is bright and precise. It tastes a little like watermelon-rind with a savory white pepper note at the end of each sip.
