General Information
Beyond their esteemed cavas, Bodegas Gramona can boast of having a good handful of still wines, among which Gramona Savinat Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is one of the most outstanding.
Belonging to the line of carefully crafted single-varietals from the century-old Catalan firm, designed from foreign grape varieties, this Gramona Savinat Sauvignon Blanc stands out for the purity and high quality of the fruits that compose it, both achieved thanks to the practice of organic and biodynamic viticulture, certified with the prestigious Demeter seal.
In its production, Bodegas Gramona opted for a double manual selection of the best clusters, during the harvest in the field and on the sorting table, and for meticulous vinification, with gentle direct pressing of the whole grape, fermentation of the must in French oak barrels, and the wine's aging on its lees. The result of this laborious process is this Gramona Savinat Sauvignon Blanc 2023, an expressive, unctuous, and structured white from Penedès, ideal to accompany salads, goat cheese, feta or mozzarella, preserves and salted foods, all kinds of fish and seafood, or Japanese cuisine.
Tasting notes
Gramona Savinat Sauvignon Blanc is a wine with a straw yellow color and golden hues.
On the nose, it shows good intensity and definition. Aromas of stone fruit (nectarine and apricot), citrus, and pineapple give way to aromatic herbs (dill, sap, and oregano). Fine toasted notes of vanilla and nutmeg and yeast from the lees. Background with a subtle smoky touch.
The palate is broad and unctuous, with good structure. In the retronasal passage, the sensations of tropical fruit, citrus, and herbs return. Slightly saline finish that, along with the acidity, makes it a very refreshing wine. Long and bold aftertaste that reveals an elegant ensemble.
The winery
The Gramona family represents five generations of winemakers. Since the mid-19th century, they have been working their lands in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia (Barcelona), and today they produce sparkling wines under the prestigious Corpinnat quality label, as well as still wines under the umbrella of the D.O. Penedès. Few wineries have made such significant contributions in recent years to elevate Spanish sparkling wines to the level of the great champagnes.
The sparkling wines of Gramona, crafted by Jaume Gramona, one of the foremost experts on bubbles in our country, achieve remarkable levels of elegance and are characterized by their extended aging periods. These sparkling wines, which garner prestigious international accolades, are made following artisanal processes: natural cork stoppers during aging, riddling racks for clarification, and manual disgorgement.
The Gramona family operates under a biodynamic philosophy across approximately 303 hectares. Of these, 72 hectares are owned by the family, while the rest come from Aliances per la Terra, a viticulturist association founded in 2015 and led by Gramona, which adheres to environmentally respectful practices. In 2014, Gramona obtained the Demeter certification, which guarantees biodynamic farming and winemaking for each wine. A few years later, in 2018, it became the first winery on the Peninsula to receive the BIODYVIN biodynamic certification. The Biodyvin label is a highly demanding certification, specific to the wine sector worldwide, and certifies biodynamic practices in both viticulture and winemaking (winery).
