Sousón is a Spanish grape variety that is primarily grown in the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain. The Sousón grape produces full-bodied, powerful wines with high levels of alcohol and tannins. The color of the wine is often deep ruby red with aromas of dark fruits such as blueberries, raspberries and cherries, as well as notes of licorice, pepper and spices. The wine style can vary depending on the soil and the vinification techniques, but the best examples are known for their balance between fruit, tannins and alcohol. The Sousón grape is often used in a mixture with other grape varieties, especially in the production of red Crianza or Reserva wines in Galicia.
