The very first red wine from Bodega Clandestina! Intended to show pride in their Mediterranean terroir, with its ability to produce bright, light, energetic wines.
Note from the winemaker: “How amazing it is to enjoy something so tasty but at the same time light and fresh! This wine wants to challenge; to explain that Sumoll is not just a rustic grape with a big acidity and hard tannins. This grape is telling us that it doesn’t want to be vinified under traditional red wine making… that it has the best tools to express incredible aromatics, texture and freshness. This is the Mediterranean!”
Grape: 100% Sumoll
Vineyard: Vines planted 7 years ago on calcareous-pebbles and clay soil.
Making of: Carefully vinified for both lightness and layers. Grapes are hand-harvested with 98% de-stemmed and macerated for 4 days in a stainless steel tank, with punch-downs and pump-overs 3-4 times per day to extract color and aroma. Pressed right at the start of fermentation (ambient yeast only), the wine is then combined with the 2% of grapes that were macerated whole-cluster to complete fermentation. The finished wine ages 1 month in concrete followed by 6 months in steel. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with nothing added.
Personality: This bright-red wine could be called a dark rosé, expressive with a floral nose and electric red fruit. Juicy, wild, and chillable, without lacking in texture or structure.
