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.

The primary grape used in the production of this wine is the Parellada. This is the latest ripening grape of the Penedés native varieties. The grapes were picked in late September. They come from the highest vineyards in the D.O. area.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow hue with a steely coloured rim. On the nose, a floral and fruity character: daisies, green apples, peaches, lime peel, against a backdrop of fresh grass.On the palate, fresh on entry, lovely and light on the palate. Very fine carbon dioxide, a slight tingle on the tongue, which combined with the sustained, lively acidity, really brings out the sensation of freshness inviting you to take another sip.

Food Pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, it is at home with all types of food and is a perfect accompaniment to fresh salads, seafood, and fish. We recommend serving this wine at 6 -8 C. Ideally it should be consumed within a year of bottling to preserve all the freshness and liveliness of its tiny bubbles in every glass.
