The biodynamic Cava house Gramona remains a leader in the category with a portfolio that maximizes tradition and innovation. Where else in Catalonia can you taste a cryoextracted Xarello "ice" wine? III Lustros is a benchmark bottling for Spanish sparklers. Flavors of green olive skin, petrol, fresh pear, and white rose emerge from the fine, caressing mouse. Sensual yet sharp, it has a laser-like precision that is undeniably Cava.

What a way to start our Saturday lunch in Madrid! Such finesse, with hints of mandarin orange and pear skins. Gramona is da bomb.

Really nice on the nose but a little tight. Let it breathe for a while. That said, this is a great example of what cava can be but rarely is.

Rather simple. Lacks the bitterness and earthiness of a CAVA

The kind of Cava that makes me looove Cava. Tasted amazing even a little warm with the bubbles slightly gone.

Toasty bubbly acid burst on the tongue. Sur lies elements showing. Refreshing but tight on the finish. Too much acid bubble austerity for my palate but others may appreciate this element.
