Can Sumoi La Rosa 2025
£18.45
The wine
La Rosa is Can Sumoi's pale, characterful rosé, drawn from native Sumoll with a little Xarel·lo, grown organically in the high Penedès.
Delicate pink in the glass, it offers wild strawberry, redcurrant and a floral, herbal lift, finishing dry, crisp and thirst-quenchingly fresh. A rosé with genuine bite and personality.
Made for the table and the sun, and lovely with shellfish, salads, charcuterie and lighter dishes. Serve well chilled.

Can Sumoi
View all Can Sumoi winesHigh in the Serra de l'Home, in the wild hills of the Montmell above the Penedès, Can Sumoi farms vines at up to six hundred metres. This is old, remote country, and the wines carry its imprint: fresh, light-footed and vividly alive.
The estate was revived by Pepe Raventós, of the family that first made Cava, as a return to a simpler way of working. Everything here is organic and low-intervention, the fruit fermented with wild yeasts in amphora and old wood, nothing added and little taken away.
The focus is on native Catalan varieties, Xarel·lo, Parellada, Sumoll and Garnatxa, coaxed into wines of real transparency. There are crisp whites, a pale rosé, a gentle red and traditional-method and ancestral sparklers, all made to be drunk with pleasure rather than pondered.
Honest, mountain-fresh and full of character, these are natural wines in the best sense. Pour them well chilled, share them freely, and taste a corner of the Penedès few ever see.
