Sumarroca

SUSTAINABLY FARMED

Sumarroca is an estate where the Marquis of Monistrol had owned the largest farm in the entire Penedes region of northeast Spain, before it took its name and new ownership in 1999. The Sumarroca family is involved daily in the operations of the estate, and has a strong commitment to very sustainable farming practices, zero irrigation in the fields, and following strict organic regulations in order to produce the best fruit possible. With several microclimates ranging throughout the fields with influence from the Mediterranean, the protection from the Monserrat mountains, as well as 15 different soil types, the estate produces a wide range of still and bubbly wines. Not only similar in production and range of dryness to sweetness as Champagne, the Cavas of Spain are comparable (if not arguably better) to some of the top bubblies of the world.
