Product Description
Details

This is the new vintage of Gramona Imperial, the entry-level Spanish sparkling wine of the Gramona winery, which consistently delivers quality and affordability.

Made from a blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada, complemented with a 15% Chardonnay, all of the grapes come from vineyards farmed following the guidelines of organic and biodynamic farming.

Selected on site and in the cellar, the grapes of this Corpinnat sparkling wine from Penedès were gently pressed and separately vinified according to the variety.

Then they were blended and bottled. Finally, Gramona Imperial 2018 was aged for 50 months and added shipping liquor after its disgorging.

This is a very versatile organic Corpinnat sparkling wine.

Appearance

The sparkling wine Gramona Imperial Brut is deep straw with some golden tinges.

Nose

Ripe white fruit, nuanced by hints of citrus, flowers and aromatic herbs. As this blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and Chardonnay aerates, it evolves into pastry, dry fruit, aniseed and citrus. Elegantly mineral background with a floral note.

Palate

Palate-coating, fresh and creamy, this sparkling wine from Gramona conveys flavours of custard cream, citrus, aromatic herbs and ripe white fruit. Smooth mousse, lively acidity and a long finish, mixing some floral and toasted remembrances.

Our personal opinion

A formidable value, this organic sparkling wine Gramona Imperial 2018 pairs excellently with all sorts of food, from appetizers to desserts.

This entry-level sparkler by Gramona is super cool. Makes me wonder why I've spent so much money in average Champagne.
