Gramona Vi De Glass Riesling 2020 (Half Bottle)

Gramona is one of the most renowned wineries in the Cava sector and possesses a long tradition dating back to 1850. Located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, its products succeed in expressing all the elegance and identity of a markedly Mediterranean terroir and are distinguished by the excellence accruing from the lengthy ageing periods spent in bottle, the common denominator found in the world's finest sparkling wines.

Vi de Glass is made mostly from the Riesling variety and Muscat. It was created with the idea of producing a wine of similar characteristics to Eiswein (ice wine), despite the fact that the region of Penedès does not have the right climatic conditions for its production with freezing temperatures during the harvest months.

It is made from grapes frozen post-harvest. In order to achieve this, following a late harvest, the only natural way to concentrate this must is by partial freezing, which enables full oenological control of the process, supraextraction, and cryoextraction in a cold chamber, using a yeast with an accentuated plasmolysis effect, especially selected by the University of Bordeaux. The result is a highly concentrated fruited wine that is sweet and tart; it shows a great aging capacity and evolves very well in bottle.

Tasting Notes:

It has aging capacity and will evolve very well in bottle. The foods to be paired with this wine will depend on the point of its evolution when the bottle is opened.

When still young, it can be enjoyed as a dessert wine or drunk on its own. With the complexity of aging, it will match perfectly with strong cheeses, natural foie gras, oysters, or scallops.

Food Pairing

We recommend serving this sparkling wine very well chilled, around 6ºC.  Nice with desserts, especially fruity desserts. Ideal with cheese and as a digestif.
