Gramona Mart Xarel·lo Vermell 2022 – Catalonia’s Pink Whisper

Tasting Notes

This is not your grandma’s rosé. Picture pale onion-skin pink with copper highlights, swirling in your glass like a Catalan sunset. The nose cracks open with grapefruit skin, peach, and wild strawberries, all drizzled with Mediterranean herbs—rosemary, fennel, and a whisper of pink peppercorns. Clearwater palate, light-but-alive, with balanced acidity and a tiny bitter kiss from the skin that just brings it into refreshing focus.

Meet the Winemaker

Gramona isn’t messing around—they’re the biodynamic rebels of Penedès. Mart is their experimental love letter to Xarel·lo Vermell, a rare pink-skinned twist of their staple grape, grown biodynamically on clay-limestone soil in a tiny 2-hectare plot. They hand-harvest, time the fermentation and bottling to the biodynamic calendar, and avoid synthetic additives. This is craft with conscience
