Gramona Celler Batlle 2015
Ecológico
An outstanding Corpinnat Spanish sparkling wine, one of the very best available on the market, the wine Gramona Celler Batlle is made from 70% Xarel·lo and 30% Macabeo, two varieties with a great ageing potential.
The grapes are entirely sourced from the Paratge San Romeu lieux-dit, a 4,5-hectare, an organically and biodynamically farmed vineyard with sandy-clay soils. The 2015 vintage, incidentally, was the hottest since
After a manual harvest, the grapes were meticulously selected and pressed whole bunch. Traditionally vinified, this brut nature sparkling wine of the Gramona winery was bottled after completing alcoholic fermentation. Then this organic sparkling wine from Penedès completed secondary fermentation and was aged for a minimum of 100 months.
Manually disgorged, the sparkling wine Gramona Celler Batlle 2015 was bottled with no sugar added.
The winner of several national and international awards, this Corpinnat brut nature sparkling wine is absolutely world-class.
Only 4,000 bottles produced.
| Appearance | The sparkling wine Gramona Celler Batlle is deep straw with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Impressively nuanced, this blend of Macabeo and Xarel·lo suggests rich aromas of white fruit and aromatic herbs, like laurel and thyme, nuanced by aromas derived from yeast autolysis, such as bread dough, candied nuts and acacia, with hints of of aniseed, white roses, English custard and toffee. |
| Palate | Surprisingly young and energetic despite being over 10 years old, with smooth, tiny bubbles and a great acidity. This Corpinnat sparkling wine of bodega Gramona is truly phenomenal, and it caresses the palate in a most gentle way. Self-assured, transparent and precise, with a remarkable ageing potential. Long, evocative finish with remembrances of almonds, pastry, aromatic herbs, citrus and white flowers. |
| Our personal opinion | Highly rated by some of the world's top wine critics vintage after vintage, the sparkling wine Gramona Celler Batlle 2015 is simply spellbinding. |
