Gramona Argent Rosè Corpinnat 2019

Gramona’s history is long and storied, and the property has been a quality reference point in the zone for decades. As far back as 1816 a member of the family has been making wine in Penedes. Today, Gramona is one of the few remaining family-owned estates in the region, with many having been bought by large companies. Gramona is located in the Penedes region of Spain just 45 minutes from Barcelona along Spain's Mediterranean coast. The Climate in Penedes is mild and warm, benefiting mostly from a Mediterranean influence. However, as the differences in elevation are quite dramatic (with some vines at over 700 meters), there are many microclimates in the zone.

Usually a varietal Pinot Noir, this Spanish sparkling wine is now a blend of the former variety with a minor amount of Chardonnay. The grapes come from a single organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard, called Mas Escorpí, at 300 metres of altitude. After reaching full ripeness, the grapes of this rosé sparkling wine were harvested by hand and selected on small sorting tables. Only the very best grapes made it into the final wine.

Tasting Notes

A subtle and complex profile. Floral touches like rose and violet petals. Including red fruits; wild strawberries, blueberries, and currants. Citrus freshness of grapefruit, and herbal notes of fennel and fresh herb. The aging is manifested with hints of puff pastry and cream caramel. On the palate, creamy entry. Full integrated and crispy carbonic that melts with sustained acidity. A mineral note closes set.

Food Pairing

All kinds of appetizers, very nice with Asian, Thai and Caribbean cuisine. Also with the Mediterranean cuisine, this sparkling will be enjoyed with the most exquisite dishes and is an ideal accompaniment throughout an entire ‘tasting menu’.

To enjoy this sparkling to the full, we suggest you serve it at 8ºC-10ºC.
