Sumoll and Parellada in a high altitude vineyard in the West of the Conca del Riu Anoia, in which the varieties are co-planted.
WINEMAKING | Made in the traditional method. Vinification is done separately by variety (except Sumoll & Parellada) and soil type in stainless steel tanks followed by blending and secondary fermentation in the bottle, aged for a minimum of 42 months. Zero Dosage.

“This is an intense and serious sparkling wine that shows excellent depth, concentration and complexity. Pie crust, biscuits, sour cream and minerals with a touch of glazed lemon loaf. Broad and full-bodied with intense mousse and a lasting, saline finish that goes on for more than half a minute. Generous but extremely serious. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The smoky and flinty 2019 Textures de Pedra was produced with 50% Xarel.lo Vermell and equal parts of Sumoll and Bastard Negre from the higher vineyard on the property that was planted 20 years ago. The base wine matured for nine months in concrete with the lees and then was put to referment in bottle, where it matured with the lees for some 42 months. It's spicy and smoky with an almost meaty side to it, like barbecued meat, almost savory, with a golden, deeper color. The palate feels polished and integrated, with small bubbles and gentle acidity. It has 12.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.16 and is bone dry (0.8 grams of sugar), as it corresponds to a brut nature. This is polished and ready. 14,820 bottles produced. It was disgorged in September 2023."
