Gramona is one of the leading producers of sparkling wines in Spain and is located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the heart of Penedès. The family business has been working for generations with a strong focus on quality, long aging, and terroir. Gramona was one of the initiators of Corpinnat, a quality label that stands for origin, manual harvesting, and long bottle aging. Gramona wines distinguish themselves through their precision, complexity, and refinement. More information about the winery can be found under the Winery tab.

Region, climate and location

The vineyards are located in Penedès, in northeastern Spain, where a Mediterranean climate prevails influenced by the sea and the mountains. This results in warm days and relatively cool nights, contributing to a good balance between ripeness and freshness.

The soils consist primarily of calcareous clay and sand, which provides structure and fine minerality in the wines. The combination of climate and soil provides the basis for complex sparkling wines with tension and length.

Vineyards and grape varieties

Celler Batlle is one of Gramona's top cuvées and is made exclusively from grapes from selected plots with old vines. The focus is on low yields and optimal ripeness.

The wine is made from a blend of primarily Xarel·lo and Macabeo, two grapes that provide structure, freshness, and aromatic complexity. Xarel·lo delivers body and aging potential, while Macabeo adds finesse and floral notes.

Harvest, vinification and aging

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. The base wines are vinified separately to preserve the expression of each plot.

After the second fermentation in the bottle, a very long maturation on the lees follows, which often amounts to more than 100 months. This prolonged aging results in exceptional complexity and a very fine mousse.

The wine is bottled as Brut Nature, without added dosage, ensuring that its purity and precision are fully preserved.

Color, smell and taste

The wine has a deep golden yellow color with a very fine and persistent mousse. On the nose, complex aromas of ripe citrus, apple, dried fruit, and almond emerge, complemented by brioche, toast, and light spiciness.

On the palate, the wine is powerful and layered, with a creamy texture and a very fine mousse. The fresh acidity provides tension and balance, while the long aging ensures depth and complexity.

The finish is long and dry, with notes of nuts, brioche, and subtle minerality. The wine combines ripeness with precision and remains elegant despite its intensity.
