Gramona’s history is long and storied and the property has been a quality reference point in the zone for decades. As far back as 1816 a member of the family has been making wine in the Penedes. Today, the house is one of the few remaining family-owned estates in the region, with many having been bought by large companies.
Gramona is located in the Penedes region of Spain just 45 minutes from Barcelona along Spain's Mediterranean coast. The Climate in the Penedes is mild and warm, benefiting mostly from a Mediterranean influence. However, as the differences in elevation are quite dramatic (with some vines at over 700 meters), there are many microclimates in the zone. Soil in the region is not particularly rich in organic material (as is often the case in great winemaking regions) with high levels of sand and clay.
Mart is a wine made from a grape variety, native to the Penedés region, which
came close to extinction, but which has now bounced back with the strength of
the red planet: the Xarel-lo Vermell. After harvesting by hand, the grapes are cold-macerated for 48 hours to obtain an aromatic extraction and a light pink shade. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats that help preserve the primary aromas of the varietal. The result is a refreshing, vibrant and delicate wine with pronounced aromas of
Mediterranean fruit and herbs infused with the character of our terroir.
Tasting Notes: Pale onion-skin pink with bright tints. Rich and intense with a pronounced fruity expression. Refreshing citrus fruit, grapefruit skin, vineyard peaches, wild strawberries and a touch of Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and fennel. A subtle spicy backdrop of pink pepper completes the bouquet.
