Gramona Argent Rose Brut Nature Organic 2020 75cl
£51.61
The Gramona family hand-crafts artisanal Corpinnat (premium Penedes sparkling wines) to an incredibly high standard - far exceeding that required in Champagne This subtle and complex 100% Pinot Noir is ethereally delicate pink in appearance, and has an enthralling aroma of homemade strawberry ice cream and English rose garden With a fabulously delicate, creamy mousse texture and sublime flavours of Spartan apple, just-picked raspberries and toasted oats, it has an understated richness reminiscent of lobster bisque, found only in the most refined and expensive Champagnes This glorious wine is made from biodynamically-farmed grapes, and was bottled as a 'Brut Nature' - with zero dosage
Gramona Lustros Brut Nature Organic 2015 75cl
£53.00
Intense, with fabulous tension between distinct maturity and youthful freshness Aromas of baked apple, ripe pear, lemon and grapefruit zest, then dried flowers and herbs: fennel and rosemary The exceptionally long ageing of 94 months prior to release has brought about decadent, complex notes of hazelnut, pastry, toast, brioche and toffee This is a top-notch fine sparkling wine that becomes increasingly expressive as it opens up in the glass With immediately evident concentration and a superbly-fine, creamy mousse of vanishingly tiny bubbles, it shows candied fruit, complex, mature flavours, and yet retails a refreshingly lively finish
Gramona Argent Blanc de Blancs Brut 2019 75cl
£50.39
Subtle, elegant and fresh, with aromas of lemon zest, pink grapefruit, golden apple and nectarine at first, followed by delicate hints of bread crust, lemon biscuit and toasted almonds Notes of spring blossom and fennel suggest its distinctive vineyard origins On the palate, there is both freshness and body, with delicate, fine bubbles Dry, with good acidity, it expresses fruits, nuts and a mineral touch Gramona's viticulture is based on careful observation and the management of the factors which influence the terroir and habitat No chemical herbicides or pesticides are employed, instead utilising natural resources, with the primary aim of maintaining a balance in the environment Spontaneous ground cover is encouraged in order to improve soil structure, and biodynamics, which goes beyond organic growing, helps breathe life into the vineyards to raise levels of biodiversity Plant-based infusions and decoctions are deployed against pest infestations, and the only fertiliser used is careful application of exclusively home-produced organic compost
Gramona Innoble Cuvee 318 Corpinnat 75cl NV
£35.92
This is a delicious as well as fantastically intricate and complex sparkling wine, with nuances of pine forest and spice above fragrant homemade apple pie character Made from 100% Xarel·lo, the most highly-prized grape for sparkling Penedes wine, this is a departure from Gramona's usual vintage-specific theme, in that three successive harvests are matured in barrels before being combined and then lees-aged for 55 months to bring out its full potential complexity and texture Astonishing stuff!
