Deep yet still vibrant rose-gold appearance. It fills the senses with an immediately complex bouquet of aromas, showing astonishing complexity, precision and finesse. Beeswax, pine resin, cedar, dried mango, candied citrus peel, crystallised ginger and butterscotch, with a savoury dried-herb richness. It is super-sumptuous, with a genuine impression of 'mousse' from the nearly microscopic bubbles. The hallmark of all Gramona's wines - that fabulous, mellow integration from cellaring under perfect conditions for many years - reaches its apogee in this unforgettable wine of height and depth, breadth and length. Prestige Champagne and aged Montrachet cower in its shadow!

Winemaking
The grapes are picked by hand, go onto a sorting belt, are transferred by gravity, and pressed whole bunch. This sparkling wine is aged for 160 months in 100% artisanal process. The bottles are sealed with a natural cork stopper throughout the time they spend resting in the cellars. All wines are hand-riddled.
Press Review
96+/100 - The terrific 2006 Enoteca Brut Nature comes from a superb vintage that was very warm. It was produced with 60% Xarel.lo and 40% Macabeo from their Font Jui property (mentioned on the label) with 12% alcohol, a pH of 2.97 and no residual sugar, sharp and dry. It matured in bottle with lees for 180 months, and such a long time in bottle gives tiny bubbles that give the wine a velvety texture. It's very expressive, clean, complex and nuanced, with faint nutty notes, hints of yeasts and bread dough, balsamic and with Mediterranean notes of fennel and esparto grass. It's long, dry, tasty and finishes with some chalkiness.
Press Review
96/100 - Enoteca is a long-aged version of Celler Batlle (same blend, same wine) but disgorged without the addition of sugar. So that’s 171 to nil in the play-off between months aged and grams of sugar added. Quite an impressive victory, and this is a very impressive wine. It's easy to forget that no oak has been used here, let alone no added sugar; such is its complexity, texture and rich, rewarding generosity. Unexpected freshness, with a backdrop that reveals layers of fennel and bay leaves, then frangipane, brioche and dried apricot, and even more... Endlessly complex yet still disarmingly exuberant, which is the biggest surprise of all.
