Description

Refined, dry, traditional method with a beautiful mousse. Developed flavor with a complex aroma, light toast, and a beautiful finish. During the secondary fermentation, corks are used for the higher-end cuvées instead of crown caps. For the III Lustros, these expensive, three-layer corks are used, allowing the wine to age well and develop a beautiful, refined mousse. Therefore, the disgorging of the wines must be done by hand, a highly skilled job. Cava may be called Gran Reserva if the wine has aged "sur latte" for at least 60 months. III Lustros is a Vintage Cava and is released on the market after an average of 7-9 years. The III Lustros Cuvée is a Brut Nature, meaning there is no dosage. The Xarel.lo grape allows this Cava to age so well. The wine is aged for a long time in the bottle, allowing a beautiful mousse to develop. The residual sugar content is 3 grams/liter. Gramona is among the absolute top Cavas and this is also confirmed by international wine critics.

In the past, the wine was aged for 15 years "sur lattes." This is where the name III Lustros comes from. This is the most refined version of the Gramona cava series.

ABOUT CORPINNAT

Gramona is part of Corpinnat, which was founded in 2016 by several (high-end) producers who distanced themselves from DO Cava primarily because the CAVA model lacks quality distinctions. Corpinnat, like Cava (or Champagne), is a sparkling wine made using the traditional method, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle, creating the bubbles. It is therefore a brand name created by several quality producers who wanted to distinguish themselves. With Corpinnat as a protected brand (like a Grand Cru or Grande Reserva), not only the region but also the terroir determines the name, which encompasses much more than just the area; it also encompasses the climate, grape varieties, the vineyard, and the winery.

The very dynamic family business Gramona has existed since 1881, currently the 5th generation of mainly 150 ha own vineyards makes formidable sparkling wines. Traditional, but using modern technology. Since the opening of the new Bodega in 2006 just outside the village, Gramona is also technically completely ready for the coming years. In a Research and Development program, research is conducted at a very high level into climate change, ecological viticulture, sustainability and everything related to the formation and preservation of the mousse. The oenologist Jaume Gramona, who runs the company with his cousin Xavier, teaches at the University of Tarragona. Gramona has a low yield per hectare for Cava producers. In the summer, a green harvest is done, with an excess of bunches being cut away. The company makes its own yeasts and liqueur d'expédition in a more than a hundred years old solera system. Gramona's stock is about 1.5 million bottles. The Cava market is dominated by large houses with huge volumes. Top companies like Gramona have a completely different philosophy and work exclusively on quality. Currently, they have three locations in Sant Sadurni for the production of their wines.

Gramona is, first and foremost, always concerned with maximum quality in the wines and champagnes. This aim is reflected in every moment and in every step of the process (pruning, harvesting, production, selection). This ethos is conveyed in the coat of arms: "Viti, Vini, Vitae": the vine, wine, life, a synthesis of our history. As a company with a long tradition , respect for the area and nature is of paramount importance. At Gramona they use the exceptional terroir and the experience in the traditional production ("Champenois") to produce high-quality and, above all, very elegant Cavas.
