Sweet Wine Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer 2023
Availability: In stock
An interesting and decidedly atypical Mediterranean Eiswein, conceived along the lines of the famed icewines produced in Germany and Canada, there is a significant difference between the wine Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer and the northern-climate icewines. While the latter are produced from naturally frozen grapes, this sweet Spanish white wine is made from grapes frozen in the cellar,
The winemaking process goes as follows. Once in the facilities of the Gramona winery, the overripe Gewürztraminer grapes, coming from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards, were frozen with liquid nitrogen until they reached a temperature of -15ºC.
After fermenting for over 2 months in stainless steel tanks, the icewine Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer 2023 was bottled.
This delicious sweet white wine from Penedès will certainly improve over the next years.
Also known as Vi de Gel Gramona, this sweet wine is excellent with coffee and desserts. For a less conventional pairing, try it with foie or soft cheese.
Appearance | The sweet wine Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer is medium straw with some golden reflections. |
---|---|
Nose | Pleasant and intense, this Gewürztraminer carries lively aromas of citrus, white fruit, Chinese plums, apricot, and lychee. There is a subtle floral background which suggests roses and blossom flowers. |
Palate | Flavorful, elegant, and fresh, with a sweetness that is not oversweet, but perfectly balanced with a crisp acidity. On the palate, the fruit of this sweet wine from Gramona appears more syrupy, with a sort of tropical character. Silky, creamy texture, and excellent finish. |
Our personal opinion | Sweet, fresh, and dry, the wine Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer 2023 is an exquisitely crafted Mediterranean rarity. |
