Description

Gramona Gessami is a biodynamic aromatic white wine made with native varieties in the D.O. Penedès (Barcelona) by the Gramona winery. Gramona is a family winery located in the town of Sant Sadurní (Penedès) where a passion for the vineyard has been passed down from generation to generation since the late nineteenth century. Currently, Jaume and Xavier Gramona Batlle, 5th generation, are carrying the family legacy and running the winery, making cava according to the traditional method as well as the most creative still wines.

What strikes many as an unusual blend is fairly common in Penedes – aromatic whites made from a mix of “northern” and indigenous varieties. In the case of Gessami, it is a blend of the native Muscat (both Frontignan 35%, and de Alexandria 15%, which are grown by Gramona) and the non-native but heat-tolerant Gewürztraminer 15%, and Sauvignon Blanc 35%. Over a third of the cuvée is Sauvignon Blanc, which provides a fresh herbal lift and vibrant acidity. To ensure a balanced wine, the grapes are picked just as they reach ripeness to ensure plenty of acidity to balance the 6g/L of residual sugar that is retained. Such a floral and alluring wine is fittingly named Gessami, which in English means Jasmine

Tasting Notes

This wine offers great aromatic intensity on the nose. It has a floral explosion of orange blossom, jasmine and roses, accompanied by a fruity touch of pineapple, peach and table grapes with a hint of freshness brought by the citrus and herbal touches. On the palate it is silky and light, with a balanced acidity that brings freshness. Like a breath of fresh air. The palate is sweet, fresh and creamy. There is a long and creamy aftertaste that presents notes of white flowers and citrus peel.
