About this winery
Gramona, based in the heart of the Penedes, creates flavours and aromas. Combining the essence of the mediterranean and beneath the eternal gaze of the Montserrat mountain range, our family transforms the most precious single element, the grape, into cavas and wines of great character.

Production notes
The grapes are picked by hand, go onto a sorting belt, are transferred by gravity, and pressed whole bunch. Grapes are chilled from 0ºC to 5ºC with gross lees (up to a 20%) for 2-3 weeks. These are obtained from the decantation of Macabeos used in the elaboration of our sparkling wines. The must is carefully divided. Fermentation in multi-purpose barrels – our objective is not to obtain oaky or toast flavours, but rather a light mineralization. Subsequent addition of cold-stored must give added freshness and strengthens the aromatic precursors. This wine will spend a minimum of 9 months in tanks and a minimum of a year in the bottle before release onto the market.
Tasting notes
Whites flowers notes –azahar- and fruit character – green apple, pears, nectarine, lemon peel-. Herbal and spicy notes – aniseed. A hint of the lees and toasted touch in the end. Fresh, subtle entry to the palate, silky texture. Followed by lightly astringent notes. Highly refreshing length.
