What is the opinion of the here gathered. I just tried th 05 and 06 red (60% Sumoll!!) And was blown away! Delicious sweet tannins, acid and fruit. Anfora not topped up. 1500 btls produced. The white was also friggin delicious, 800 btls produced.

I bought a bottle a while back and thought when I opened it, "Oh, another hipster wine." But then it changed a bit, and I went back for a sniff, and it was a different hipster wine. And another and another.

I liked it a lot.

Not cheap, tho.

Red wine from Penedes, Garnacha blended with something indigenous called Sumol.

The other way around. Sumoll with a little garnacha.

That was the 2004, btw.

It is very expensive, possibly due to the tiny production and the difficulties the couple have in working that little mountain vineyard (no electricity, BTW). But at 40 euros in Spain, it's pretty steep...

What do you think of it?

I've never had it, myself, but someone was telling me about it yesterday.

Well, that's a great opportunity!

I like their wines. They are not industrial dreck, to say the least.
