In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Raspberry and wildflower lift arrive with quiet intensity. The palate is both concentrated and silky, with enough mineral grip to cut through rich plates. Fermented cool in stainless steel with indigenous yeast at 12% ABV, La Rosa sits at that perfect intersection of freshness and ripe fruit weight — a rosé that tastes like food rather than sugar water.

The Winery — Can Sumoi

Pepe Raventós of the renowned sparkling house Raventós i Blanc and childhood friend Francesc Escala revived a derelict 17th-century finca high in the Baix Penedès mountains in 2016. The estate, situated between 350 and 700 metres elevation on calcareous, stony soils cooled by mountain air, comprises 400 hectares mostly woodland with views stretching to the Mediterranean. The 2025 vintage is a blend of 60% Sumoll (native Catalan variety) and 40% Xarel-lo from vines over 40 years old. Hand-picked, destemmed, gently pressed, then fermented 15 days with spontaneous malolactic conversion — the estate is certified organic, follows Vin Méthode Nature protocol, and keeps total sulphites to 30mg/L or less. The wine is vegan and vegetarian friendly.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Drink this now with grilled seafood, Spanish ham and aged cheese, cold cuts, or the sort of Mediterranean tapas spread that improves every time the sun comes out. Its mineral structure and silky body make it equally at home as an aperitivo or at the centre of a summer lunch. Modern Catalonia — the region that led Spain's winemaking revolution with temperature control and innovation — still knows how to make a rosé that tastes like itself.
