Tending vineyards in northwestern Catalonia for generations, the family have found great success with their other business ventures. In addition to owning Teyco, a construction company, they’re also shareholders in COMSA Corporation, a leader in the engineering and infrastructure sector. Add to this, they also manage a canning company in Navarra and a company that distributes their wines and foods. Needless to say, they don’t do anything in small measures. As such, when they were established in Penedès they set about purchasing the finest farmland. Today they have around 258 hectares of vineyards. The family has a strong commitment to sustainability and farm their vines according to organic principles to produce the best grapes possible. Sumarroca is in fact one of Spain’s largest producers of sparkling wines made only from estate fruit.
As suggested by its name, which means “The time of flowers”, this wine is like a stroll through a garden of flowers in full bloom. Lemon yellow in hue, on the nose it shows highly perfumed aromas of orange blossom, honeysuckle, citrus peel, tangerine, and ginger. The medium bodied palate has good acidity, soft texture, and a nice touch of honeyed sweetness. Zesty and refreshing, the finish has a slight note of crushed pepper. You cannot ask for a better pairing to go with a plate of Calamari à la Plancha.
