Gramona III Lustros Gran Reserva 2016

2015 / 94 puntos

The 2015 III Lustros Brut Nature was produced with a blend of 70% Xarel.lo and 30% Macabeo from the 22.5 hectares of the Font Jui vineyard (now mentioned on the labels). 2015 was warm and dry with low yields. The wine matured in bottle with the lees after refermenting in bottle closed with a cork stopper for close to eight years. It is a very intense and concentrated year, with complex aromas, expressive, elegant and balanced, with subtle smoke and toast aromas and a seamless palate that is velvety with abundant, very fine bubbles. From this year, the blend is different from that of Celler Batlle. 58,000 bottles produced. It was disgorged in November 2023.
