Harvest notes 2024

A humid, warm and growing vintage of the new Sumolls!

The 2024 vintage was characterized by a humid and temperate climate that favored vegetative development and production at Can Sumoi. It began with a rainy October (89 mm) that served to recover water reserves after an extremely dry 2023. Although the winter was dry, occasional rains maintained soil moisture until the onset of an exceptionally rainy spring (351 mm), with average temperatures of 14.9°C. These conditions favored vegetative growth and production at Can Sumoi. These conditions favored vegetative growth, although downy mildew caused a 5% loss in the heap.

The dry, temperate summer reduced downy mildew pressure and allowed for slow, balanced ripening, culminating in rainfall in September (40 mm) that helped to produce a healthy, well-balanced harvest. The perimeter enclosure of the estate controlled the incidence of animals, minimizing losses.

With 599 mm of rainfall and an average annual temperature of 15.7 ºC, it was a demanding but satisfactory vintage.

Muntanya

A tribute to a silenced land

There are wines that are more than the reflection of a landscape: they are a cry and a memory. Muntanya is one of them. A sparkling wine that reclaims the highlands of Montmell —austere, fragile, yet full of life— and gives voice to the uniqueness of this corner of the world —rich in memory, but also in absence.

It is born from fermentation with the vineyard’s own native yeasts, in an intimate dialogue with the land, and rests in silence for more than a year on the lees. This time shapes it into a fresh and serene wine, with the vivid acidity of altitude and the quiet strength of great wines capable of aging gracefully.

Muntanya is a sparkling wine that restores dignity to a pure and often forgotten landscape; a wine that loves and fights for the people, the villages, and the vineyards that were once silenced. A wine that remembers, and at the same time, projects forward.
