White sweet
Gramona Vi de Glass Gewürztraminer 2024 is one of Gramona’s most original creations, inspired by the German Eiswein tradition, but interpreted in the Mediterranean climate. It is a sweet wine in which the concentrated aromatic expression of the ‘Gewürztraminer’ variety is combined with unexpected freshness and precise balance.
The wine is made from 100% ‘Gewürztraminer’ grapes grown in the Penedès region. Since there are almost no natural frosts in Catalonia, Gramona has chosen a unique method: after the late harvest, the grapes are artificially frozen to a temperature of -15 °C using liquid nitrogen. In this way, sugars, acids and aromatic substances are concentrated, imitating the classic Eiswein principle.
The aroma of this wine is extremely expressive and aromatic: lychees, mangoes, guavas, apricots, candied citrus peel, rose petals and orange blossoms. Alongside the exotic fruits, subtle nuances of ginger, honey and white flowers are felt.
On the palate, Vi de Glass surprises not only with its sweetness, but also with its energy. The texture is creamy, silky, but the acidity keeps the wine lively and precise. The taste reveals a concentration of tropical fruits, notes of apricot jam, honey and citrus, while the aftertaste retains a refreshing minerality and subtle spice.
The idea for this wine was born back in the 1990s, when Jaume Gramona decided to create a Catalan interpretation of the famous Eiswein style wines. The first harvest of Vi de Glass was released in 1997, and today this wine is considered one of the most exceptional sweet projects of the Penedès region.
Serve at 8-10°C with white meat with baked apricots or pineapple, desserts, blue cheese, duck and goose liver.
Gramona is one of the most prestigious Spanish sparkling wine producers, with over a century of viticultural tradition in the Penedès region of Catalonia. The family winery has become famous for its commitment to quality, ecology and the philosophy of long-aged wines.
Organic vineyards and biodynamic philosophy
Gramona vineyards are cultivated organically and biodynamically, respecting the principles of nature. The family's approach to viticulture is based on a belief in the cycles of the moon and the influence of the universe on the soil and vines.
History and tradition: from 1881 to today
In 1945, Bartomeu and Josep Lluís Gramona began a new era in winemaking - they were the first to establish the concept of long-aged sparkling wines in Spain.
In 1951, the first Gramona III Lustros was created, released in 1961.
In 2021 The Gramona family celebrated 100 years as a sparkling wine producer and 140 years as a grape grower.
Today, the Gramona story is continued by the fifth and sixth generations – Jaume, Roc and Leonard Gramona – following the principles of sustainability and quality.
Traditional method and exceptional quality
Gramona wines are produced using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), identical to champagne production, and their maturation period ranges from 18 months to even 12 years – more than double the standard Cava requirements.
What makes Gramona sparkling wines stand out?
In addition to the traditional Cava grapes (Xarel·lo, Macabeo, Parellada), they also use Chardonnay, which gives it an elegant and international style.
Taste: aromas of nuts, freshly baked pastries and autolysis (yeast decomposition).
Naturally low in sugar, but with a balanced and delicate acidity.
A new generation of quality: Corpinnat
After a long-standing commitment to improving Cava’s reputation, in 2019 Gramona left the official DO Cava designation of origin and became one of the founding members of the Corpinnat association. Corpinnat means “born in the heart” and represents the highest quality sparkling wines produced exclusively in the Penedès region, following strict organic production and long-term maturation requirements.
