Producer: Can Sumoi

Description:

Can Sumoi is a collaboration between Pepe Raventós of Raventós i Blanc and his childhood friend, Francesc Escala. For many years, they dreamed of making still wines in their native Catalonia. One day, while on a bike ride high up in the mountains of west Penedès, Pepe set eyes on a derelict 17th century Finca. He returned with Francesc who was equally enthralled by the Finca and land. In 2016 the duo decided to revive the rundown property and realise their dream, founding Can Sumoi.

The Xarel·lo is a classic expression of the region’s most prized variety which Pepe believes can reveal a true sense of place. It displays soft, herbal aromatics on a dry and refreshing palate.

Taste: This Xarel-lo wine is complex and textured with notes of aniseed and Mediterranean herb notes. The finish is refreshing with bright acidity and a delicate saline character.
