Can Sumoi Garnatxa Blanca 2024

$2555

Can Sumoi is Pepe Raventos's mountain project in the Penedes, a collaboration with childhood friend Francesc Escala on a 1645 farmhouse perched at 600 meters in the Massis del Montmell. Everything here is organic and biodynamic, with native varieties and minimal intervention in the cellar. This Garnatxa Blanca comes from two plots of 25- to 60-year-old vines on calcareous soils, hand-harvested and pressed under inert gas with no sulfites added at crush. Fermentation happens spontaneously in stainless tanks. The wine is unburdened by oak, full of altitude-driven freshness, and a beautiful counter-argument to the idea that Garnacha Blanca has to be heavy or oxidative.

"The 2024 Garnatxa Blanca from Montmell Mountains in Penedès, Catalunya, opens with restrained aromas of pear and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is moderately fresh and slightly creamy, reflecting the hot, dry vintage. A touch of bitterness and a hint of alcohol lend structure and length." —Joaquín Hidalgo

More about Can Sumoi

Catalunya's sparkling wine industry, best known for Cava, has undergone a whirlwind of development and drama in the last two decades. There is no better master of the craft to help us navigate this fascinating region than Pepe Raventós. Raventós i Blanc has one of the longest documented winegrowing traditions in the world—the estate, now 44 biodynamically farmed acres, has belonged to the Raventós family since 1497. In this masterclass, Pepe will guide us to a deeper understanding of his benchmark sparkling wines and his home region.

Pepe has been harvesting grapes in San Sadurní in Catalunya’s Penedès Valley since he was a small boy, and running his family company full-time since 2001. Trained in oenology at the Complutense University of Madrid, he’s worked in Saint Émilion, Pouilly Fumé (with the late Didier Dagueneau), Saint Aubin (with Olivier Lamy), the Nahe (with Harald Hexamer), and Alsace (with Philippe Blanc). His wines, largely traditional-method sparklers, have become an international reference point for both quality and vision by bringing animals, plants and people together into a single, respectful agricultural whole.

In 2012, Pepe famously decided to leave the Cava appellation that his forebears had been instrumental in founding, creating in the process the hyper-specific Conca del Riu Anoia designation for his wines. Most recently, he’s been recuperating the old, high-altitude, forest-encircled vineyards of Can Sumoi, a 17th-century mountaintop property from which he makes minimal-additive wines under their own label.

Perfect Pairings

Grilled prawns, escalivada, salt cod fritters, or a Catalan-style fideua.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied and saline, with white peach, fennel, citrus zest, and a chalky, herbal finish. Bone-dry, with the cooling lift of a high-elevation white.
