APPEARANCE: Intense straw yellow with golden highlights.
NOSE: Deep and intense. Thousands of different floral notes. Fruit compote, quince, dried apricots. A hint of liquorice and faded flowers lingers in the background. Very pronounced fresh bread aromas mingle with sherry-like aromas from the “expedition liqueur”.
PALATE: Deliciously sweet on entry. Very smooth, full, creamy carbon dioxide. A pleasant and distinct sweet finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS: This cava is ideal with exquisite desserts and is one of the only sweet cavas to be made from very fine wines. Aged like a Gran Reserva, it allows sweet wine lovers to enjoy the softness and sweetness of a cava without foregoing elegance and the finest production process.
Disgorged in May 2021, its mere 50 months of tirage relatively modest for Gramona, this is a benchmark blend. Unerringly complex: spring flowers wrap around the stone fruit, while notes of lemon peel and chamomile contribute freshness and complexity. Gramona’s signature fennel and almonds are both present, the latter strays into honied macadamia territory, such is its seductive charm. The finish is etched with elegance.
