Outstanding! A lot of juicy wine for $15! GSM blend from Barossa Valley. (I'm on an Australian wine kick, I think we all go through one...) I thought it would be the perfect wine for my dinner choice - smoked tri tip, safron veggies, pine nut/dried currant mixture.
The wine has a vibrant purple color, ample concentration, and fresh aromas - bing cherries, pepper, red plum, tobacco, lavender, and crushed rocks. The pallet is full of fruit and some juicy acid - dark raspberries, blackberries, dried red currants, green peppercorn, and a spicy finish. This is a refreshing red wine. Food worthy for sure, but a nice glass of red after a long day. — 8 years ago

2008 Gran Reserva. Brut nature with no dosage, 3g/L. Aged in oak for 1 year.30 months on the lees. 50% Xarel-lo, 45% Macabeo & 5% Chardonnay. Fresh, deep and focussed with notes of resin, dried fruits. Dry and structured with a great freshness throughout leading towards a leesy finish. Great balance with Xarel-lo providing the minerality and the Macabeo contributing for the oxidative character. — 11 years ago

Mixed berry fruits, hint of spice & even a slight pastry note; reminds me somewhat of baked blueberry pie. Florals notes provide some lift and in the palate it feels so pure and vibrant. A real joy to drink — 11 years ago
Tasted at 3 St James's with Gramona rep. Cava at its best for this 100% Chardonnay cuvee. 6g/L. Fine mousse. Austere at first sight but great freshness comes through with aeration. Rich, yeasty and wonderfully opulent. Dense. Great finish and persistency with gentle bitterness. Ones for food. — 11 years ago
Gramona Frisant de Gel. Fresh, floral, surprisingly concentrated for a frisant. Finally a Gewürztraminer with nice acidity to balance the richness! — 12 years ago
