Gramona Enoteca Brut Nature 2009

The 2009 Enoteca Brut Nature was produced with a blend of 65% Xarel.lo and 35% Macabeo from their Font Jui vineyard that is now mentioned on the label. 2009 was a very balanced vintage in line with years like 2013 and 2019, very complete and balanced. It has some toasty notes and feels quite fresh and young (even from a bottle) after being in bottle with the lees for 13 years! It's subtle and elegant, with very subtle carbonic gas, very, very fine bubbles but still a sparkling wine. They are trying to keep the bottles for six months after disgorgement before putting the wines on the market. I love the spicy nose, the nutty undertones and the very elegant and subtle palate. Superb! 1,500 bottles produced. It was disgorged in June 2023. The following vintage will be 2011, which has already been disgorged. - Luis Gutiérrez.
