Origin and terroir

The Gessamí comes from Penedès, a versatile wine region south of Barcelona. The vineyards are situated at various altitudes and on different soils, ranging from calcareous clay to sand and stone. This ensures complexity and balance in the wine. The Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, helps to combine aromatic intensity with freshness.

Grapes and vineyard management

This wine is a blend of aromatic grape varieties such as Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer. Each variety contributes to the character of the wine. Muscat provides floral notes, Sauvignon Blanc freshness and citrus, and Gewürztraminer spiciness and structure. The grapes are carefully selected to achieve an optimal balance. This Corpinat house harvests its grapes just before they are fully ripe, as oxidation of the grape or juice is the greatest danger. This results in a low-alcohol wine within their range of still wines.

Vinification and aging

After the harvest, the grapes are cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve the aromatic expression. A deliberate choice is made for an approach without wood, so that freshness and fruit remain central. The wine ages briefly on the fine lees to impart extra roundness and texture without losing its fresh character.

Color, smell and taste

Light yellow in color with a bright sparkle. The aroma is expressive with notes of white flowers, citrus, lychee, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, fresh and lively, with juicy fruit and a light spiciness. The acidity provides tension and a refreshing finish that invites another sip.

Style and character

The Gessamí is an aromatic, accessible white wine with a distinct Mediterranean signature. It combines expression with elegance and remains consistently fresh and easy to drink. Ideal for lovers of aromatic wines that are not too heavy.
