Sommos Gewurztraminer 2018

Producer: Bodega Sommos

With 355 hectares under vine in DOC Somontano, Sommos, one of Spain's most modern bodegas, was built on the remains of the former Lazaro property Irius in Barbastro and has since formed an enviable reputation for cutting edge wines and wine tourism.  From its futuristic main building, which features interlaced cubes, to its 27-metre high winery, which was designed to use just gravity to move wine around, thereby attempting to limit the damage that traditional pumps cause. Sommos even uses the intelligent Cartesian 'porta ovis' (explorer) robot to carry out basic tasks such as filling/emptying barrels, stacking pallets etc and grapes are harvested during the cool of the night to emphasize the wines' fruitiness. Manager, Carlos Sáenz, and the oenologist, Óscar Martínez are within the nucleus of people that make up the Alliance of Garapiteros which has transformed the fortunes of this magnificent building in recent years.
