Tasting note
Aged 108 months, this remarkable wine dazzles. Ripe peaches, golden apple, quince, lemon zest, herbs, cherry blossom, pine forest. Long lees ageing brings layers: toasted sourdough, buttery pastry, hazelnuts, almonds, vanilla custard, coffee, praline. Exquisite creamy bubbles. Complex finish, for slow savoring. Unforgettable, truly memorable.
Viticulture
Gramona: Rich history, famed for extended lees ageing due to wartime cellars. Land is key; they embrace biodynamics—onsite prep, spontaneous cover crops. Vines coexist with animals for soil balance. Top-rated Spanish Sparkling Wines, rivaling Champagne. Artisanal, 5+ years lees ageing on cork for controlled oxidation. Hand-riddled & disgorged.
Vinification
108 months on lees, 'sur lattes', in Gramona's cellars. Cork-sealed, hand-riddled, clarified via 'Pupitre'. 5.5 g/l dosage with aged 'expedition liqueur'. Family controls vine-to-bottle. 65% Xarel.lo, 35% Macabeu. 4,800 bottles of Corpinnat Gran Reserva, crafted across generations.
Food Match
Gramona's intricate layers shouldn't be lost in complex cooking. Its richness complements creamy seafood, white meat, or mushroom dishes beautifully.
