A decisive winter for our vineyards

  The arrival of winter brings with it important tasks at our historic estate. Within the parameters of the sustainable viticulture practices we carry out (organic, biodynamic and regenerative), there are several works in which we have made some adjustments to minimize the effects of the drought. Among them, pruning, the application of compost or […]

Making wine

The 2019 harvest in Clos del Serral Making wine is probably the best thing that could ever have happened to us. The best knowledge that our ancestors have passed on to us and the best memory we can leave to our successors. Winemaking is connecting to the land and following its rhythm, and the land […]

Vineyard tasks on the estate in spring

As Pepe Raventós says: “Making a great wine is an easier task than we tend to think.” And we all know that wine is made in the vineyard and the vineyard is where it all begins, but we are perhaps unaware – or not sufficiently aware – of all the work behind the scenes, everything […]

The New York Wine Experience

Going back to where Pepe and his family spent 5 winters  in an incomparable setting: the  New York Wine Experience, probably the most important wine event in the world. Just a year ago we were talking about natural wines, about the Raw Wine Fair and New York, the city that has stolen all our hearts. […]

The harvest of hope

The days just before the harvest days are almost like organizing a wedding.

Can Sumoi

Visitors to the farm is always good news. There are those who, sometimes, bring you pastries from the other side of the world with labels that you’re not even capable of understanding, those who give you their best smiles and those who pass by without saying anything, but at the end – like everything in […]

Lost traditions

A popular tradition which exists in several European countries, customary since ages past and carried out in an artisan way once a year, coinciding with the coldest months of winter, which provide the best possible conditions for manipulating the fat and meat from the pig. It continues today but is no longer performed like it […]

The poetry hidden behind pruning

It’s winter; the time has come. The vine is asleep; all energy is directed towards the roots and the life is mainly found in the soil. The most intimate contact between man and nature occurs during pruning. Observe, breathe, walk around and sense, above all sense. Before we prune, we must first study the vineyard, […]

When everything comes full circle

“Our work, basically, is like an artist’s. We strive to obtain the best possible grapes and wine from each plot.” This is how Pepe defines his passion, his work. This is how the harvest begins for us, finalizing sketches and creations, the most longed-for moment of the year. The moment when anything is possible. Just […]
