Sumarroca is an estate where the Marquies of Monistrol had owned the largest farm in the entire Penedes region of northeast Spain, before a new ownership took it and renamed it in 1999. As the years progress, the Sumarroca family remains 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. A combination of several microclimates ranging throughout the fields with influence from the Mediterranean, the protection from the Monserrat mountains, as well as 15 different soil types, makes for a wide range of still and sparkling wines. Not only similar in production and range of dryness to sweetness in Champagne, the Cavas of Spain are comparable to some of the top bubblies of the world.
