The cellar
5 bottles with at least 15% Garnacha in the blend.
Small organic Corpinnat producer at Avinyonet del Penedes producing recovered-variety still wines (Sumoll, Malvasia de Sitges) alongside traditional-method sparkling.
Tip: Ask to taste the still wines as well as the sparkling. The Cova Foradada Sumoll is the producer's signature still red and a rare bottling outside the region.
Demeter-certified biodynamic family producer at Vilobi del Penedes producing amphora and concrete-egg fermented whites from native varieties.
Tip: Loxarel's amphora-aged 109 Xarel-lo is the producer's signature amphora release; reserve a tasting that includes it specifically.
Organic estate at Font-Rubi in Alt Penedes producing recovered-variety still wines (Sumoll) and traditional-method sparkling from a 100-hectare finca.
Tip: The Gaintus Sumoll is a heavy-skin maceration single-variety bottling and the estate's signature still red.
