In the Glass — Tasting Notes
This 2024 opens with brightness from its mountain home—cherry and raspberry come through cleanly, framed by mineral snap and a whisper of wild herbs. Fine tannins and lively acidity keep the wine moving and fresh rather than heavy. The palate delivers real substance as Garnatxa and Sumoll work together, with length that lingers in earthy, natural notes. Honest, site-driven, and deeply rewarding.
The Winery — Can Sumoi
A partnership between childhood friends Pepe Raventós and Francesc Escala, Can Sumoi was born from a mountain bike ride through west Penedès. They discovered a derelict seventeenth-century finca and, since 2016, have lovingly restored the property and its vines. Today, 20 hectares of certified organic vineyards—many over 40 years old—sit between 350 and 700 metres, threaded through 380 hectares of woodland with Mediterranean views. Sumoll thrives on lower slopes with shallow calcareous soils; Garnatxa rises higher into stony ground that concentrates flavour. Hand-harvested fruit was destemmed and fermented cool with indigenous yeasts, then aged nine months: 80% in stainless steel to preserve freshness, 20% in chestnut to add texture.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
Pour this with grilled lamb, roasted mushrooms with garlic, or aged Manchego cheese. It shines at weeknight dinners and Sunday lunches alike, and equally rewards an evening alone when savoury layers reveal themselves slowly. The wine's elevation and mineral character make it a natural fit alongside game, roasted beef, or rich braises.
