The 2018 Brut Imperial is a Corpinnat blend of 56% Xarel·lo, 30% Macabeo, 10% Parellada and 4% Chardonnay. Produced using the traditional method, it spent 60 months on the lees. The bouquet features aromas of lime and lemon pie, complemented by a delicate array of fine herbs. Dry and creamy on the palate, the ethereal flow is enlivened by calibrated acidity. Refreshing and joyful, this sparkling wine is a delight. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, September 2024)

Finally opening my Gramona. Bubbles just as fine as champagne. This cava is almost indistinguishable from champagne. Incredibly fresh with green apples. — 7 years ago
Loved this with paella at La Pepa in Vilanova — a month ago
Nice corpinnat for an aperitif, or would pair well with shellfish. Citrus and floral aromas that give way to an intriguing minerality on the palate. Overall very harmonious, with the flavors playing well off each other. Finish is a bit of a weak point, as the minerality leaves some bitterness with little else coming through. The long (42 month) lees aging provides a smooth mouthfeel. Good freshness as well. Has some nutty, toasty flavors, but these are more in the background. — 5 months ago
Wonderful smooth cava. — a year ago
This comes across very much like a summer Mediterranean banger, which I dig. Light salmon pink juice that wafts upward with a soft citrus nose, backed by light and refreshing acidity. Good grapefruit and light strawberry. Great appetizer wine. — 4 years ago
Ok. So it’s not #icewine as it is made in Canada or Germany leaving the grapes on the vines into December when they freeze, here they freeze late harvest grapes and achieve a #sweetwine of #riesling i quite enjoy it with pastry desserts #dessertwine — 6 years ago

A perfect wine to finish off the week and start the weekend. Has just enough complexity to keep it interesting. Refreshing acidity. Some lovely floral flavors coming through with lemony and apple notes, and has a really long, nice finish. Just really yummy wine for an aperitif or for just celebrating the end of the work week. — 9 months ago

Made with 70% Xarel-lo and 30% Macabeo in the Penedes, this is beautifully expressive, with brioche, butterscotch, and roasted almonds on the nose. Hints of citrus and crushed flowers peek out with time. On the palate the flavors mirror the nose, and a vibrant acidity comes through as well. Mouthfeel is creamy, and finish is long, with brioche and mineral notes lingering on the palate. Aged 95 months on the lees. Paired well with swordfish braised with tomatoes and sweet yellow peppers. — 9 days ago
