Corpinnat Gramona Argent 2018
Availability: In stock
The 2018 vintage of Gramona Argent is, as usual, made solely from Chardonnay.
This Corpinnat sparkling wine is produced from grapes sourced from Mas Escorpí, an organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard with calcareous and rocky soils located on the foothills of the Montserrat mountains and planted with 25-year-old vines.
Crafted by the Gramona winery, this Spanish sparkling wine was meticulously harvested and vinified. Once in the cellar, the grapes were gently crushed, after which only a 50% of the wine must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
After that, Gramona Argent 2018 completed secondary fermentation in the bottle, and was aged for a minimum of 44 months before its release.
Finally, this organic sparkling wine was added shipping liquor coming from an old family "solera."
