2006 Gramona Imperial Gran Reserva - Cava

Gramona is a small, family owned winery in Penedes that makes some of Spain's top Cava's. Almost every top restaurant in Spain has a Cava from Gramona on the list. The Imperial Gran Reserva is aged 3 to 4 years in the bottle before being released. Flavors of baked apples, pie crust, lemon curd, white flowers and spice make this a muy tasty mouthful.

91 Points Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Gran Reserva Brut Imperial is predominantly Xarel-lo with 20% Chardonnay. It offers up a slightly more refined bouquet and a crisper, drier, creamier palate than the Brut Gran Cuvee. This surprisingly complex Cava will provide enjoyment over the next 1-2 years."
