THE HISTORY: FAMILY SUMARROCA The origins of the family Sumarroca goes back to Llimiana (Pallars Jusa). Where generations of family already has been involved in the wine production. By the early '80s, they moved permanently to Penedès. At that time acquired Moli Coloma estate with 36 ha, in Subirats and Heretat Sabartés with 25 ha in Banyeres del Penedès. In 1999 they bought the old property of the Marquis of Monistrol, which is now called Sumarroca state. It has 403.8 ha and is the largest farm in the whole region of Penedes.

THE FAMILY Sumarroca family has been personally involved in decisions concerning the vineyard and agriculture. Daily, mr. Sumarroca wanders the land trying to perfect the system of work. Passion / Obsession exaggerated for the vineyard. One of the pioneers in the introduction of foreign varieties in the region like: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc. But a well one of the first to reintroduce ancient local grapes that were almost lost, like Xarel.lo Vermell
