Description
Indulge in the exquisite Can Sumoi Xarel·lo 2023, a remarkable bone dry white wine crafted from the indigenous Xarel·lo grapes of the acclaimed Penedès region in Cataluña, Spain. This wine embodies the rich heritage and unique terroir of its origin, captivating wine lovers with its distinctively vibrant flavors and refreshing finish.
The certified organic vineyards of Can Sumoi, nestled between 350-700 meters above sea level, feature vines over 40 years old, allowing for the cultivation of exceptionally concentrated grapes. The mineral-rich, calcareous-clay soils combined with the cool mountain climate produce wines that are both fresh and elegant.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A bright bouquet of juicy white peach and zesty lemon peel, intertwined with fresh herbal notes and a hint of nutty spice, evoking warmth.
- Palate: Bright and taut, offering crisp green apple along with subtle white peach flavors layered over stony minerality, complemented by brisk acidity.
- Finish: A crisp, enduring finish unfolds with zesty lime-cordial brightness and fine mineral veins, leaving a refreshing sensation that lingers.
This vintage is a testament to resilience, as the 2023 growing season presented unique challenges leading to grapes of remarkable concentration and purity. The grapes were hand-picked, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeast, embodying the philosophy of Vin Méthode Nature with minimal intervention.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve crispness and flavor. Avoid temperature fluctuations as these can damage the wine quality.
- Light exposure: Keep the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage that can degrade the wine.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork is intact and the bottle is well sealed to prevent oxidation. For opened bottles reseal tightly with a cork or a wine stopper to minimize air exposure.
- Bottle position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist; this prevents cork shrinkage and air ingress which are critical for maintaining freshness.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity around 70% to keep corks from drying out which helps maintain the seal.
- Special tips for white wine:
- Do not store white wine in a regular refrigerator long-term as it can dry out the cork leading to premature aging; use a wine fridge or a well-controlled cool environment instead.
- For opened bottles consume within 2–3 days for best quality keeping them refrigerated and sealed.
These guidelines help maintain the wine’s aromatic and flavor integrity over time whether unopened or once opened.
