The Clos Lentiscus Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature Sumoll Reserva is the estate's flagship wine.

The sparkling wine is made of 100% Sumoll from a biodynamically farmed single vineyard planted in the 1930s on sandy calcareous soil in the Garraf National Park, just south of Barcelona. The grapes are manually harvested and spontaneously ferment with native yeast in stainless tanks. The second fermentation is spurred by a mixture of must from the newer vintage (2018 must) and rosemary honey from the Clos Lentiscus estate apiary, which adds a honeyed essence (yet bone dry) to the palate of tart red fruit.

The Clos Lentiscus Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature ages for a minimum of 30 months on the lees before disgorgement with zero dosage. The bottles are riddled by hand. The wine is neither fined nor filtered. Production is limited.
