Notes on Harvest 2025

Warm and humid vintage; first Sumoll harvest after half a century.

A warm and humid year brought us 714 mm of rainfall. The water restored life to the fields, and the vines grew with strength and balance. Harvest began on September 16th, with healthy vineyards full of promise. A dry winter gave way to a very rainy spring, which encouraged the growth of the new Sumoll vines and consolidated the replantings. The summer, mild and with some rain before harvest, allowed for slow and balanced ripening. Patience at harvest time has rewarded us with wines of good maturity, weight on the palate, and a clean, vibrant expression of Montmell.

This year we harvested the first Sumoll grapes, five years after planting the first vines. Despite their youth, they already show great potential and symbolize the return to the origin of a variety that gives its name to the estate — one that hadn’t been cultivated here for more than half a century.

La Rosa

The revival of a historic blend

La Rosa is born from a historic blend of Xarel·lo and Sumoll, two varieties deeply rooted in the Penedès. A rosé that recovers a traditional way of understanding this style of wine, moving away from exuberant profiles in search of definition, texture and ageing potential.

Xarel·lo brings tension, verticality and a Mediterranean expression marked by herbal notes and salinity. Sumoll, meanwhile, adds depth, aromatic delicacy and subtle red fruit. Together, these two varieties shape a precise and balanced wine, where freshness coexists with a long, enveloping palate.

Aged in concrete to preserve the purity and character of the wine, La Rosa reveals a floral, mineral and lightly spiced profile, with a fine texture that gives it depth and complexity.

WINE & SPIRITS - TOP 100

“When rosé hits, it hits in all the right places: transparent to the terroir, light yet intensely flavorful, the most delicate form of red wine that’s irresistible with dinner. A blend of organically farmed sumoll and xarel-lo, growing in limestone high above the Mediterranean in the Serra d l’Home, this is a minimal-intervention wine that holds its freshness and beauty for days after it’s been opened”.

VINOGRAPHY

“The real star of their recent releases is their rosé, which is a snappy and delicious mouthful but with some interesting personality that makes it quite intriguing”.

“In the mouth, crisp and bright flavors of watermelon and watermelon rind, hibiscus, and a few light floral tones are fantastically mouthwatering thanks to excellent acidity, and after a very stony quality to the wine, there’s just a tiny hint of creaminess in the finish. Outstanding”. - La Rosa 2021

“Drink Wine lower in alcohol”, says Dalston Wine Club founder Hannah Crosbie, who recommends Can Sumoi’s 11 per cent La Rosa”.

VINOUS

“Diaphanous orange-pink. Vibrant red Berry, citrus fruit and floral scents, plus hints of chalky minerals and fennel. Dry and racy in the mouth, offering lively strawberry, cherry and tangerine flavors that show a weightless quality. Closes very long and silky, with resonating florality and a hint of spiciness”. –
