Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Gramona a Cava producer?
- Gramona was historically one of Cava's most prestigious houses, but in 2019 it withdrew from the DO Cava and became a founding member of Corpinnat, a collective demanding 100% organic/biodynamic estate fruit and extended lees aging for its sparkling wines.
- What is Corpinnat and why does Gramona matter to it?
- Corpinnat is a quality-driven collective of traditional-method sparkling wine producers from the historic heart of Penedès. Gramona is one of its founding members, alongside Recaredo, Llopart, Nadal, Sabaté i Coca, and Torelló.
- Does Gramona practice biodynamic viticulture?
- Yes. Gramona earned Demeter biodynamic certification in 2014 after Jaume Gramona studied with Burgundy microbiologists Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, and the estate also leads Aliances per la Terra, a Penedès growers' association farming biodynamically.
- What makes Gramona's sparkling wines distinctive?
- Gramona is known for exceptionally long lees aging — often a decade or more, as in its III Lustros and Celler Batlle cuvées — producing complexity, autolytic depth, and freshness that rival top Champagne houses.
- Does Gramona pair well with Japanese cuisine?
- Yes. Gramona's long-aged sparkling wines have refined acidity and umami-rich complexity that pair especially well with tempura, sushi, and dashi-based dishes.
