Sumoll
Rosat
Motivations

Born from curiosity and respect for our winemaking past, and driven by the desire to craft unique wines, CELLER PARDAS presents the only rosé wine made from the indigenous Sumoll variety. This grape, recently dismissed as common and harsh, is in sharp decline and on the verge of vanishing; it can only express its true potential through austere, high-quality, low-yield viticulture and a meticulous, gentle approach to winemaking. At PARDAS, we do not view rosé as a mere transition from white to red wine, but as an independent world of its own. Both in its conception and production, we consider Sumoll Rosat a terroir wine.
