The white grape variety originates from Spain; synonyms are Sumoi Blanc and Sumoll Blanc. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2009, it is not a mutation of the red variety Sumoll, but an independent vine. However, the parentage is unknown. It produces mineral white wines with subtle acidity and a fruity aroma similar to a Chablis. The variety is grown in small quantities in the Penedès and Tarragona areas of Catalonia. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
