Roent Rosé Brut 2022

Wine Description for Roent Rosé Brut 2022 by Gramona

Character

Gramona, one of the most renowned houses in Penedès, demonstrates impressively with this Rosé Brut that Cava can be far more than a budget-friendly sparkling wine substitute. The Roent combines the Burgundian finesse of Pinot Noir with the Mediterranean fruit abundance of Grenache into a sparkling wine of remarkable elegance and depth. With only 12% alcohol, it displays that restrained power which characterises great sparkling wines – nothing is overdone, everything is in balance.

Terroir & Origin

The Gramona family has managed their vineyards in Penedès since 1881 with a philosophy that places respect for the land above quick profit. The Mediterranean climate with its cool nights and the influence of nearby mountains create ideal conditions for sparkling wines with freshness and complexity. The soils of limestone and clay lend the Roent that mineral tension which distinguishes it from industrially produced Cavas. Here, tradition is not misused as a marketing term, but genuinely lived.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The combination of Pinot Noir and Grenache is anything but conventional for Cava, yet it demonstrates Gramona’s courage to innovate within tradition. Pinot Noir brings structure, elegance and fine spice, whilst Grenache provides fullness with its red fruit and silky texture. Traditional bottle fermentation using the Méthode Traditionnelle gives the wine that creamy texture and complexity which can only develop through time on the lees. Gramona belongs to those producers who have understood that great sparkling wines must mature in the cellar, not on the shop shelf.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This Rosé Brut is more versatile than its moderate price might suggest. It harmonises beautifully with grilled prawns, Jamón Ibérico or sushi. It also shows its strengths with summer rolls, tomato salad with burrata or seared tuna. The subtle residual sweetness makes it the ideal companion for Asian cuisine with its sweet and sour contrasts.
