Gramona Wine Dinner

Gramona has been a winemaking family for the past 5 generations, and has established themselves as makers of one of the world’s finest Corpinnats (a collective group of currently 11 Cava makers who’ve created their own brand of bottling apart from the Cava DO).

Corpinnat producers must make wines from 100 percent organic, sustainable vineyards that have been harvested by hand. The wines must be made within the Corpinnat territory which is Penedès, and vinifed entirely on the winery's premises. This is followed by an ageing period of at least 18 months, and must contain a minimum of 90 percent indigenous grapes. Interestingly, these regulations effectively rule out the largest Cava producers from participating in the association and labeling their wines Corpinnat.

Gramona’s own sparkling wines are made using the traditional method and see at least 4 years of ageing on the lees – resulting in wines of supreme finesse, length, and complexity. We believe that these fine wines do best in accentuating the delicate flavours of Chef Tariq’s Japanese, French, and Singapore-fusion delights.

Join us for an exceptional evening as we pay tribute to the late Xavier Gramona, the visionary behind the winery's meteoric rise over the last decade. Jean Claude, the winery's export manager, will guide us through a selection of Xavier's iconic cuvées, honouring the legacy of one of Spain's legendary winemakers.

The wines we will enjoy:

- Gramona Gessami Muscat Sauvignon Blanc 2022

- Gramona Imperial Brut 2017

- Gramona III Lustros 2014

- Gramona Corpinnat Enoteca Brut Nature Grand Reserva 2022

A Rhône-dezvous with Yves Cuilleron

Dubbed the “leader of Condrieu's new generation of winemakers” by Wine Spectator, Yves is no stranger to many of us. For those of us who have had the rare pleasure of putting our lips to his seductive whites or silky reds, our only lament is the increasing difficulty of getting hold of his bottles due to his growing fame.

Nonetheless, Yves has and will continue to be a dear friend of us. Yves will be hosting and presenting 5 of his wines in an intimate setting of only 10 diners, paired with Executive Chef Michael Wilson’s award-winning tasting menu.

Date: 2 November 2023, Thursday

Time: 7PM - 10PM

Venue: Marguerite (18 Marina Gardens Dr, #01-09 Flower Dome, SG018953)
