1283 – CORPINNAT GRAMONA ARGENT ROSÉ BRUT NATURE

Characteristics: Gramona Argent Rosé Brut Nature 2021 is a brut nature rosé Gran Reserve cava with D.O. Cava made by the Gramona winery with Pinot Noir grapes. The production of this cava involves a special difficulty, since harmony must be achieved between its aroma, which maintains its characteristic pink colour and avoids an excessive contribution of tannins.

Wineries: Gramona from the DO Corpinnat

Variety: 100% Pinot Noir

Graduation: 12% Vol

Elaboration: The harvest is carried out in the traditional way, collecting the grapes by hand and transporting them in small 25 kilo boxes. After an exhaustive selection of grapes and grains in the winery, a very gentle pressing is carried out, which only allows between 35%-40% extraction. The must ferments at a controlled temperature of 14ºC in 300 and 600 litre French oak barrels that give the wine a great freshness. The ageing of Argent Rose lasts an average of 36 months in rhyme (longer than the regulatory council of the D.O Cava requires).

In addition, desks are used and both the stirring and the disgorging (disgorging) are carried out manually. At the end, a small amount of liqueur specially produced by the winery is added, which gives this cava a Dosage of 4 grams per litre.

Tasting notes:

• Colour: Old gold colour with “onion skin” sparkles.
• Nose: On the nose, this cava shows great complexity with its wide range of aromas. We perceive floral notes of poppies and fresh roses as well as certain memories of red fruits and berries such as blueberries, currants, blackberries… In addition, spicy touches (vanilla) are combined with pastry aromas reminiscent of its aging (puff pastry, butter and cream) with a mineral background.
• Mouth: In the mouth, the characteristic flavour and freshness of ripe fruit predominates. It is carbonic and fully integrated, with a sustained acidity.

Pairing: A very versatile cava that can be combined with both an aperitif and complementing main courses of spicy food (oriental recipes) and elements of Mediterranean cuisine.

Service: The recommended service temperature for this cava is between 8°C and 10°C.
