About Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll

When Carlos Esteva decided to move to the family estate in the Garraf massif, in the Penedès in 1979 and discovered all the wonders of the surroundings, he had a clear aim: to bring the historic 16th century Can Ràfols dels Caus farmhouse back to life and regenerate the vineyard with varieties that were unknown in the area and following organic principles. In a short time his revolutionary techniques became known and the wine was so successful that 25 years later he decided to go one step further by building a winery within the rock itself and with specific conditions that would allow for gravity-led winemaking. Through all of this, he makes a wide range of fine, elegant and honest still and sparkling wines that are a trademark of the company.

One of his most unique wines is Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll, a red wine made with the almost extinct Sumoll variety from old vines planted in calcareous soils full of marine fossils. Cultivated following organic principles and harvesting by hand, once the grapes reach the winery, they are selected and destemmed to begin spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in chestnut barrels where they spend a few months.

With a recovered Penedès grape variety and an old fashioned aging method (with chestnut barrels), Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll is a cult wine that speaks of the Penedès and, more specifically, of the magical terroir found in the Garraf.

 

2023

Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll 2023 is a red wine that offers a pure and refined expression of this indigenous variety, with a delicate pale violet hue that hints at its subtlety. On the nose, it unfolds elegant notes of red berries, black pepper, and a faint herbal whisper. Its lightness on the palate is merely an illusion, as each sip reveals a vibrant intensity of pomegranate, tart cherry, and mountain herbs. Present tannins, bright acidity, and a subtly bitter finish with hints of dark chocolate make this wine an ethereal and memorable experience.
2022
In such a warm and arid vintage as that of 2022, Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll 2022 unfurls an exquisite freshness. This red wine manages to harness the wild character so distinctive of the Sumoll variety, offering refreshing notes of hibiscus along with pleasing floral and herbal aromas. On the palate, its varietal personality is honoured by producing a medium-bodied wine with a purity of flavours, vivacity, and abundant freshness. A unique Mediterranean gem, it boasts fine tannins and elegant calcareous nuances.
 
2021

Can Ràfols dels Caus Sumoll 2021 is a juicy red wine with aromas of fresh red fruits accompanied by mineral notes and hints of scrubland. On the palate it is light, clean and elegant. A light to medium-bodied wine with marked acidity, fine tannins and a very attractive saline background.
