Gramona?s history is long and storied with the property being a quality reference point in the Pened?s for decades. As far back as 1816 a member of the family has been making wine in the vicinity of San Sadurn? d?Anoia. Gramona name began to be put on bottles of ?Cava Champagne? in 1921. Today the house is one of the few remaining family-owned estates in the region, most having been hoovered up by large corporations in the last half century. Jaume Gramona is in charge of viticulture and winemaking overseeing two cellars, the ancient family cave where their finest Cavas age under cork and a new cellar outside of the village. Grapes are sourced from 124 hectares of vineyards that are farmed biodynamically ? 60 hectares that the Gramona family owns and 64 hectares of purchased fruit from growers that are practicing biodynamics under the Alianzas por la Terra, an organization created by Gramona to promote biodynamics in the Pened?s.

Tasting Notes
What strikes many as an usual blend is fairly common in Penedes ? aromatic whites made from a mix of ?northern? and indigenous varieties. In the case of Gessami, it is a blend of the native Muscat (both Frontignan and d?Alexandrie are grown by Gramona), and the non-native but heat tolerant Gew?rztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. Well over half of the cuv?e is Sauvignon Blanc, which provides both the body and acidity and depending on the vintage, either one or both varieties of Muscat are used in addition to a small proportion of Gew?rztraminer to boost the aromatics. Such a floral and alluring wine is fittingly named Gessami, which in English means Jasmine.
