Born from the Land; Caretakers of the Land: Wine growing has been the pride of the Gramona family since 1850 and they have been making sparkling wines since the start of the 20th century. Gramona is located in the Alt Penedés region, 30 kms south of Barcelona. The climate is typically Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The vineyards are protected during harsher winters by the majestic, rocky Montserrat mountain to the north. The fifth and sixth generation acknowledge that the humility that comes with being caretakers of this land is their greatest asset. True to their beliefs and admiration for nature, all the vineyards are managed according to organic and biodynamic principles; ploughing is done with horses, pruning is done by hand and with respect and biodynamic preparations are applied to facilitate the health of the vines, compost is produced from their farm of cows, sheep, chickens and horses.
