Roent Rosé Brut 2023

Wine Description for Roent Rosé Brut 2023 by Gramona

Character

Gramona belongs to those venerable Cava houses that consistently elevate Catalan sparkling wine to world-class standards. The Roent Rosé Brut combines Burgundian finesse with Mediterranean fruitiness – a cuvée of Pinot Noir and Grenache that holds elegance and substance in perfect balance. The Brut dosage underscores the clear, dry orientation that gives the wine its precise contour.

Terroir & Origin

The Penedès, located south-west of Barcelona, benefits from proximity to the Mediterranean and the cooling influences of the surrounding highlands. Gramona has managed its vineyards organically for generations and relies on low yields and hand-harvesting. The chalky soils of the region impart a mineral tension to the base wines that refines itself during the second fermentation. The house counts among the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Catalonia and understands how to let the terroir speak without oenological artifice.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The combination of Pinot Noir and Grenache is characteristic of premium rosé Cavas. Pinot Noir brings structure, elegance and a fine red berry fruit, whilst Grenache contributes fullness and a subtle spiciness. Gramona vinifies according to the traditional method with extended yeast ageing, which gives the wine its creamy texture and complex aromatics. The house’s philosophy is based on minimal intervention and long maturation periods, allowing the wines to develop a depth that far exceeds conventional Cavas.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile companion for raw shellfish, gambas al ajillo or tuna tartare. The structure also carries richer dishes such as pan-fried sea trout or veal carpaccio. Excellent with Asian cuisine of moderate spiciness, such as salmon sashimi or dim sum. As an aperitif with Manchego and Jamón Ibérico it is unbeatable.
