Gramona Imperial Brut 2015

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 touch of ‘expedition liqueur’ from their solera, which is well over a century old, gives this cava Gramona's unmistakable signature, a symbol of elegance that has made this cava a classic for its loyal drinkers.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, good intensity. Ripe white fruit such as apple and peach. Aneseed notes, fennel. Nice balance between notes of freshly baked bread and subtle citrus peel aromas. Dried nuts. Subtle toast and yeast notes with buttery aromas. On the palate, wide on entry, full and creamy. Velvet-like bubbles, with a refreshing finish. The white flowers and fruit aromas come through again on the palate against a backdrop of freshly baked bread. A sparkling with structure, which shows its personality and finesse year after year.
