Dues Voltes Sumoll Blanc Brisado/Orange is a natural white wine made from the white Sumoll grape variety (Merseguera), following the vinification process for red wine, which consists of a prolonged fermentation of two weeks in amphora in contact with the skin, which provides the wine with a deeper golden colour and body.
Dues Voltes Sumoll Blanc brisada belongs to a range of wines elaborated by Celler Dues Voltes, located in Vila-Seca (Tarragona) under the project created by Enovitis Smart Wines, a project that was born to enhance, protect, and develop traditional grapes, which grow in unique soils and mesoclimates in the Mediterranean arch and provide additional value.
They make terroir wines from single vineyards that represent the local varieties and perfectly capture the characteristics of the terroir from which they come. Ageing is carried out both in amphorae and barrels, producing different types of wines and applying different maceration techniques with the skins to obtain distinctive results.
Production:
The grapes are sourced from a single estate, "Les Basses" de Teulada in la Marina Blanca (Levante). The vineyard is nestled on a hillside, with rich clay and white limestone soils facing east. The Sumoll Blanc is grown in accordance with organic principles and has been certified by the Organic Agriculture Committee of the Valencian Community (CAECV).
The wine is made under the philosophy of minimum intervention. Hand-harvested with double selection in the vineyards and in the winery. It goes through a prolonged skin contact fermentation for 25 days in a stainless steel tank with pumping over. Aged on the fine lees for six months in ceramic amphorae.
Small production of 1200 bottles. SO2 total: <20 mg/l.

Tasting Notes:
Colour light amber. Good aromatic intensity on the nose, herbaceous notes and dry white flowers, as well as light notes of bakery and caramel with a light honeyed touch. Entry smooth and fresh on the palate, with good acidity and notes of stone fruit and citric notes. Finishing long and dry with a slight bitter note reminiscent of white almonds.
