Vi de Gel - GRAMONA

Hello everyone,

Today I will post a special wine for me, it is an eiswein (please if there is any German follower correct me if I write anything incorrectly), for those who do not know the ice wines I shall tell you that they are white sweet wine.

The special thing over these wines is that the grapes are harvested late, when they are plenty of sugar, other important thing to keep in mind is that the wine is fermented at very low temperatures. The whole thing makes the sweet wine particular.

This kind of wines are common in some producer zones of Europe as Germany, Austria, France and even Hungary, there are other countries that are producing this kind of wines as Canada or even Spain.

Well going into matter I will tell you of a ice wine from Catalonia, it is the “Vi de Gel” of the cellar GRAMONA, you could find two types of Vi de Gel, one done with the “Gewürztraminer” and the other is a coupage between the Riesling Grape and the Muscat one.

The most important in this wine is that it keeps the main characteristics from the grapes but with the sweet taste that makes it special. Thus you should find that the Gewürztraminer has a kind of flower taste while the other one is fruitier.

My recommendation for this wine is to use while serving the deserts of just as the perfect companion for your seafood.

This is not cheap wine, you could find it around €17 the bottle, and the bottles are only of 300 milliliters.

Well I hope you try this wine or any other ice wine because the experience deserves it.

Cheers!!
