Ull De Llebre Sumoll Negre is a captivating red wine produced by Celler Mas Foraster in the Conca de Barberà region of Catalonia, Spain. This wine is a blend of Tempranillo (known locally as Ull de Llebre) and Sumoll, a varietal indigenous to the region. These grapes are known for their ability to convey the character of the Catalan terroir, which is characterized by a Mediterranean climate and chalky clay soils. The Ull de Llebre provides a robust backbone and flavors of red cherry and plum, while the Sumoll adds a unique astringency and wild berry notes. Aged in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, this wine presents a complex interplay of fresh fruit flavors and subtle oak influences. Celler Mas Foraster, a family-owned winery, emphasizes sustainable and organic practices in their winemaking process, which enhances the purity of flavors in this wine and honors the traditional winemaking heritage of the region.
