Gramona III Lustros Brut Nature 2017
Ecológico
The 2017 vintage of the superb sparkling wine Gramona III Lustros Gran Reserva Brut Nature is made from a blend of 41% Xarel·lo, 39% Macabeo and 20% Parellada.
Both varieties are sourced from the Font Jui estate, 185 to 228 metres above sea level. The land is organically farmed, and the winery is increasingly applying biodynamic techniques to enhance the vitality of the grapevines.
Produced by Gramona, a founding member of the Corpinnat association of producers, this Spanish sparkling wine was traditionally vinified following the Champenoise method. First, the grapes were separately fermented in stainles steel tanks.
After that, the sparkling wine Gramona III Lustros Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2017 completed secondary fermentation in the bottle and was aged for a minimum of 84 months before disgorgement.
Finally, this Corpinnat organic sparkling wine was manually disgorged. No dosage was added to the wine after the process.
