Biodynamic. A field blend of Catalan native varieties, both red and white: Sumoll, Roigenc, Mandó, Cannonnau, Monica, Torbat, Parellada and Xarel·lo. The vineyard was planted in 2006 in calcareous clay soil. Manual harvest in 10 kg boxes, with selection of the grapes in the vineyard. The grapes are chilled down and 90% of them are direct pressed. The other 10% is macerated for 4 months with virtually no extraction to limit color and tannins. Indigenous yeasts and no additions; unfined/unfiltered. Fermented in stainless steel and bottled near the end of fermentation to capture CO2. There’s a bit of grip on the sparkler this year – very pretty, delicate or rose-like fruit and flowers, but notable tannic structure coming from the Sumoll!
