Bodega Sommos - visit & wine tasting
1 / 6
Bodega SOMMOS - by Management
Description
Bodega SOMMOS is located in the east of Huesca Province and produces wines belonging to the Somontano DOC, a transition zone between the valley of the Ebro River and the Pyrenees. They use wines from different varietals such as Tempranillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The estate is famous in the wine industry for the striking architecture of its production and reception facilities: cubes and lines of steel & glass creating generous interior spaces. The tour reviewed here is conducted in Spanish and lasts 90mins. It covers the vineyard and winery works, a visit of the production facilities, and tasting of 3 wines.
Access & Transport
The winery is 500m off the N-240, about 6km south of Barbastro. From Huesca, it is a 55km drive, from Lleida (Catalunya) 65km, and from Zaragoza 130km (via Huesca and Barbastro).
Instructions & Recommendations
The restaurant is well rated so lunch there can be a good complement to a wine tasting and visit. It is closed on Mondays though.
Environmental & Social
Do we really need all that steel and glass to make wine? For this bodega, the terroir aspect loses out to the alcohol element
Conclusion
Worth a visit for the architecture, technology and restaurant more than the wine so worth checking out if passing through the area but you may consider other winery options.
