{"product_id":"metamorphika-sumoll-costador-natural-wine","title":"Metamorphika Sumoll Orange 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eMetamorphika Sumoll Orange is a skin-contact wine made from 100% Sumoll Blanc, an exceedingly rare white grape native to the Tarragona province of Catalonia. Sumoll Blanc is genetically unrelated to the red Sumoll grape and was once widely planted across northeastern Spain before being displaced by more commercially viable varieties. Costador sources fruit from two parcels of 70-to-80-year-old bush vines planted on roughly three hectares of stony white clay calcareous soils in the Conca de Barberà DO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested between mid and late September and sorted twice — once in the vineyard and once in the cellar. Half the harvest is kept whole-cluster; the other half is destemmed. The combined fruit macerates on skins for twelve weeks before spontaneous fermentation begins in clay amphorae ranging from 300 to 3,500 liters, using only indigenous yeasts. Fermentation runs four to six weeks, after which the wine spends approximately three months on lees with daily stirring at first, then weekly. It is then aged for four months in clay amphorae before being bottled unfiltered in Costador's signature wax-sealed clay vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is amber-hued with notable texture from the extended skin contact. Expect grapefruit pith, dried apricot, orange zest, and dried herbs on the nose, with crisp acidity and a lean, savoury finish characteristic of the Sumoll Blanc variety. At 12% ABV the wine stays fresh and food-friendly despite its structural grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoan Franquet farms organically and biodynamically across a single mountain in Conca de Barberà, working with vines ranging from 60 to 110 years old across soils of slate, clay, and limestone at elevations between 400 and 800 meters. The high diurnal temperature variation at altitude allows extended hang time while preserving natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Costador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40533927395527,"sku":"COSTSUMO20C","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/costador-metamorphika-sumoll-orange-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185933","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/metamorphika-sumoll-costador-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
