Sus Scrofa Pardas 2022

A bright, direct Sumoll based wine, with bright berry fruits, light florals and a touch of undergrowth. Firm, fresh and easy drinking. 2022-2028.

The idea with the 2022 Sus Scrofa is to offer a Sumoll with no makeup, as pure as possible, from the variety they have been selecting across Cataluña and grafting it in their Can Comas property, selecting the soil, altitude and orientation they deemed optimal. It fermented with 50% full clusters and was kept in concrete for three months. It has moderate ripeness, a medium-bodied palate, 12% alcohol and very good freshness reflected by a pH of 3.3. This is still very young, from their more intense grape variety, again admitted by the Penedès appellation, which was not the case the first four years of their wines. The grape has a strong personality, different, and the wine is perfect to understand the variety, with no makeup. It's expressive with a medium-bodied palate, raw, energetic. The grape can take heat but doesn't deliver heat (until you pick it very late, which is not the case here). They want to think their grandparents used to drink a wine very similar to this, a fine-boned, fluid wine. 29,300 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez.
