In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Concentrated white fruit aromas layer beneath lifted florals and a whisper of wild rosemary, shaped by sun-baked Mediterranean terroir. The fine, persistent mousse carries that fruit through to a crisp, mineral length that feels alive and precise. At 12% ABV, this opens with genuine vibrancy—neither heavy nor thin—rewarding you the moment it touches your glass. Energy without excess; restraint that tastes of measured development and traditional method ageing on its lees for 12 months.

The Winery — Can Sumoi

A partnership born of childhood friendship and shared dream: Pepe Raventós of the storied Raventós i Blanc family and Francesc Escala restored a derelict seventeenth-century mountain property in west Penedès, perched at 600 metres elevation with Mediterranean views stretching to the horizon. Since 2016, that careful, ground-up revival has shaped an estate where 400 hectares of mostly woodland and vine sit in a uniquely secluded position for vine-growing and biodiversity. The 2024 vintage brought a wet spring and temperate summer that allowed balanced ripening of Macabeo and Xarel-lo—the traditional backbone grapes of serious Spanish sparkling wine. Grown under organic farming practices that emphasise soil health, these cooler, calcareous sites naturally favour the precision you taste in the bottle. Aged 12 months on lees using the traditional method, the wine gains the structure and depth that lifts it well above typical fresh-and-simple sparkling.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the sparkling wine for occasions where you want something that complements rather than overwhelms. Pair it with shellfish and crustacean, seafood, salt-cured ham, firm cheeses, or the kind of tapas spread that demands genuine finesse. Soft and creamy cheeses sing alongside; salads and light dishes find their match; sushi and raw fish meet their mineral counterpart. Open it for brunch, weeknight suppers, Sunday lunch, or celebration—organic, vegan-friendly, and built for real drinking rather than collector shelf-sitting.
