Oak aged two and a half years. Straw yellow with highlights of new gold. On the nose is mature, intense, dynamic, combinating the frank aromas of the white fruit, fruits with bone, bunch of flowers with a fresh accent of fresh herb and with the notes of the noble oak ageing, vanilla, cuff-pastry and custard. In the mouth is solid, with a fluid tact expanding silently till the finish plenty of vivacious acidity , long and intense after taste with hints of ripe fruit, spices and smoke.

For over 125 years, the Gramona Family has been making cavas and wines with personality. They bear the cellar’s hallmark and the traits of the terroir found in each of their estates. Gramona has over 40 hectares of vines in its five estates of the Penedès, one of the world’s richest, most... diverse winemaking regions: La Plana, Mas Escorpí, El Serralet, Font Jui and La Solana. Gramona has been growing Xarel•lo grapes for 150 years in one of the region’s oldest vineyards of this variety, and in the Mas Escorpí estate, at the highest altitude in the municipality, it grows foreign varieties such as Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay. Since the 19th century, Gramona has stood out for making the cavas with the longest aging on the market, from the 18 months of its youngest cava to the 10 years of its longest-aging. This is only comparable to the aging of some of the best Champagne wines, where it is proven that a great sparkling wine takes years to become one. This aging involves unique handcrafted processes (which necessarily limit the volumes of bottles) and research in the vineyard and cellar, resulting in cavas of a complexity and smoothness that have placed Gramona among the world’s most exclusive sparkling wines.
