Gramona Celler Batlle 2011

The 2011 Celler Batlle Brut was produced with a blend of 75% Xarel.lo and 25% Macabeo from the Font Jui property of 22.5 hectares. The wine was adjusted (blind by tasting) with 7.2 grams of sugar from the residual sugar and the dosage from an old solera of wines that have some sugar and are part of the Gramona. This matured in bottle with lees, closed with a cork for 122 months. It's more in the style of the 1990s than the wines from the last 20 years, with a little more sugar. 7,100 bottles produced. I had the chance to taste a bottle of 2007 disgorged in 2018, and the wine, which was a lot drier than this 2011, is evolving superbly.
