SUMOLL
Torrelavit, 17th April 2005
Fruit of our interest and our respect for our winemaking heritage and our eagerness for making different wines, Celler Pardas us presents you a unique rosé wine made with the local Sumoll variety. A grape which has been lately rejected and classed as common and course, one that was about to disappear and one that can only express its fullest potential with the most severe viticulture, and a very accurate winemaking process which respects the grape.
At Pardas we do not understand rosé wines as a transition of white to red wine, but as a whole world on its own. Both for its conception as well as for its production we consider Sumoll Rosé as a truly terroir wine.
When this declaration of intent was written in 2005, the Sumoll variety was still not official within the Penedés D.O. Today, 15 years after, Sumoll is a respected and valued variety, with a huge potential. We are proud to have been one of the pioneers with this variety that we like so much.
