100% Sumoll Blanco.
Escoda-Sanahuja is based in Conca de Barberà, about an hour's drive West of Barcelona, where the climate is defined by its altitude and the soils by its limestone. The vineyards, located right beside a national park, are farmed biodynamically and all of his wines are hand harvested, wild fermented and bottled unfiltered and unfined. Joan-Ramon’s cellar features an array of tinajas (clay vessels) and an underground cellar which is gravity fed. The cellar is immaculate too, allowing him to work without sulphur since 2007.
The Sumoll Blanco comes from Joan Ramon 's old vineyard in Conca de la Barbera; one week maceration on skins. The Escoda Sanahuja Brutal is light, savoury nearly salty, energetic and with a very long finish.
