Gramona Vi de Gel Riesling is made from Riesling (60%) and Muscat. Inspired from the Eiswein (ice wines), made by the freezing of grapes on the vine, Jaume Gramona searched producing wines of similar characteristics with grapes from a vineyard where it does not freeze during the harvest months.
Tasting notes: Light yellow colour with golden tones. Nose: citric and exotic fruit rinds, peach notes. Floral bouquet, roses, orange blossom. Fine tones of honey and aromatic herbs. Palate: silky and unctuous.
Pairing: Blue Cheese, Chocolate, Desserts, Ice Cream, Pastry.
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.
