Product Description
Details

Produced by Celler Sanmartí, the wine Sanmartí 1018 Garnatxa Sumoll is the proof that Pla del Bages, a region which for many years relied mostly on French varieties, has taken important steps towards the recovery of its rich wine heritage.

This terroir-driven Spanish red wine is a blend of Grenache and Sumoll, two varieties which complement each other exceptionally well - Grenache providing the flesh and Sumoll the acidity .- The grapes were sourced from estate vineyards certified organic.

Harvested by hand and meticulously selected, the grapes were refrigerated on arriving at the cellar. Then each variety was separately vinified: the Grenache was fermented whole-bunch in tiled diposits, and the Sumoll was fermented in open wooden vats.

After that, the first variety was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, and the second was aged in stainless steel tanks and tiled diposits. Finally, the red wine Sanmartí 1018 Garnatxa Sumoll 2019 was blended, stabilized, filtered and clarified before bottling.

Pair this Crianza red wine with roasted meat recipes, substantial rice dishes, cold cuts and cured cheese..

Aerate this red wine from Pla de Bages some time before drinking.

Nose

This blend of Grenache and Sumoll suggests yummy, straightforward aromas of cherries and strawberries, alongside intriguing notes of bitter herbs, flowers and wet earth. There is a citrusy and spicy background.

Palate

Due to the combination of varieties, this wine from Celler Sanmartí manages to be both fruit-driven and remarkably crisp, linear and focused. It has a steely, electric acidity which lifts the palate, and a very long, citrusy finish with remembrances of spices and flowers.
