Garnatxa - Sumoll 2024

50% Garnatxa - 50% Sumoll 

 

2024

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.

The estate is planted only with local grapes.

The soils of the estate were developed from copper-coloured, ochre and brown material which corresponds to the Montmell Formation, which is made up of sediment formed between 100 and 113 million years ago in the Cretaceous period; there are few soils as ancient as these on the Iberian Peninsula.

Recovery of 20 Ha of vineyard with an average age of 50 years.

Strong commitment to recover native varieties Montinega, Sumoll, Garnatxa and Xarel·lo for all our wines.

Coupage 50% Garnatxa - 50% Sumoll

Coupage of two complementary Mediterranean varieties, the Sumoll: wild fruits, rusticity, finesse, electric / acidic; with the Garnatxa: red fruits, roundness, elegance, silky, an excellent blend.

Our project is based on respect for the environment, natural winemaking and biodynamics

We grow 100% organic

The Can Sumoi vineyards were covered with natural fertilizer, they were worked with expert and careful hands; and recovered to make natural high-altitude wines. Management of the forest and the wildlife was also carried out to recuperate the biodiversity. The Can Sumoi wines were born in 2017

Vineyards with spontaneous vegetation covers, which give biodiversity, fertility and life to the soil. We do the short pruning. Use of herbal as herbal medicine to minimize the use of copper and sulfur. Control of lobesia botrana due to sexual confusion. Maturation controls prior to the harvest. Manual harvest and all pressed in the cellar.

We also eamwork with local farmers, organic certificates.

Our mission at Can Sumoi is the production of natural high altitude wines with the least intervention in all viticulture and winemaking processes. Manual harvest and all pressed in the cellar.

Can Sumoi wines are organic, and natural wines with less than 30mg/L of sulfites.

Organic because of the organic viticulture in our vineyards, with manual harvest, all pressed in the winery and only natural yeasts.

Natural due to an elaboration without any oenological additive added during its vinification (no enzymes, no sugars, no jellies, no tannins or copper). Only a minimum quantity of sulfites in bottling when necessary.

In Can Sumoi wines -following the recent French Vin Méthode Nature regulations- there are no more than 30mg/L of sulfites in total.
