Bodega Sommos, established in 2014 in the heart of the Somontano Protected Designation of Origin, has rapidly positioned itself as one of the most prestigious and forward-looking estates in the region. Internationally acclaimed for its iconic, avant-garde architecture inspired by the Pyrenees, the winery is also renowned for its gravity-flow design, which, together with cutting-edge technology, allows for highly precise, gentle and sustainable winemaking.
The estate owns more than 350 hectares of vineyards across three differentiated areas, whose contrasting soils, altitudes and microclimates are faithfully expressed in its wines. At Finca Torresalas, surrounding the winery, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Tempranillo and a small parcel of Pinot Noir grow on gypsum- and salt-rich soils with varied exposures.
At the foothills of the Sierra de Guara, Finca Montesa comprises nearly 100 hectares of dry-farmed vineyards planted with Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon on limestone and clay soils. Finally, in the rugged area of Güel, close to the Pyrenees and at almost 1,000 metres above sea level, Sommos cultivates Sauvignon Blanc and Garnacha Blanca, further enhancing the diversity of its terroirs. This mosaic of landscapes is the basis of the Colección range, which captures the essence of Somontano and will be presented at Wine Paris by a dynamic and internationally experienced team.
In the Calatayud PDO, Sommos Garnacha focuses on more than 90 hectares of old-vine Garnacha, planted between 1920 and 1970 and divided into some 200 small parcels. Although climate and viticultural practices are similar, the soils vary significantly and are the key factor shaping the identity of each wine. Clay-dominated plots retain more moisture and organic matter, producing slightly higher yields and rounder profiles, while slate-rich hillside vineyards are poor, dry and stony, resulting in low-yielding vines and wines of great concentration and mineral character. These two soil expressions give rise to Araia (“red clay”) and Tiaso (“grey slate”), names that pay tribute to the ancient Celtiberian heritage of the area and to the unique geological diversity of Calatayud.
