Product description for Gramona III Lustros, Brut Nature 2015 (bio)

Info

The year 2015 began with good rainfall, but this was not enough to bridge the summer drought. In July, the temperature climbed to 40°C, which put a significant strain on the grapes and caused a standstill in the vines. From then on, precise work was required in the vineyard to ensure healthy grapes later on. The cuvée is based on 70% Xarel-lo and 30% Macabeo. The vines grow on the Font de Jui farm. The 22.5 hectare vineyard is planted on clay and limestone. Only these two vines grow there. The area stretches from the Anoia River at 100m above sea level to the hills of Mas Escorpi at 305m above sea level, above Spain’s sparkling wine capital, Sant Sadurni d’Anoia. III Lustros uses a different method than many other wines at Gramona. The resting period on the lees for this cuvée, for example, takes place under natural cork. The subsequent disgorgement is, of course, carried out by hand. The 100% compostable cellophane paper that lines the bottle is also applied by hand. The wine is allowed to age on the lees for 84 months and is marketed as a Brut Nature.

Colour

Bright golden yellow with light green reflections, medium perlage of a steady pace and restrained mousseux.

Nose

The nose is clearly influenced by the autolysis of the lees. No wonder after 94 months and very welcome. Yeast, limestone, and flint are noticeable remnants of origin and production on the nose. The fruit then appears more yellow and shows us khaki, mango, peach, and grilled pineapple. Caramelized pear and candied quince bring warmth and another layer to the fruit. Apricot compote then leads wonderfully into its yeasty aromas. Sponge cake, butterscotch, and tarte tatin are prominent. Cinnamon, almond, and caramel. Roasted hazelnut and nougat. Hay and dried Mediterranean herbs provide a refreshing ethereal character. Earthy, nutty, and elegant are its elegant attributes. It is characterized by character and charm.

Palate

Bright fruits dominate the first impression: grapefruit, white peach, and pear. Intense apricot, almond, cinnamon, and marzipan build up. It has a melting effect in the background due to the yeast and benefits from a perfectly integrated acidity in the background. Moderate structure with high intensity. The Mediterranean, ethereal side is represented by pine and pine, thyme and rosemary, and lavender. Menthol and basil have a cooling effect. It displays great elegance and stretches out.
