History
Celler Battle is Gramona's long-aged premium release, named for Pau Batlle, the family's mid-19th-century founder. Each step is by hand; the natural cork is inserted during the tirage (not crown cap), enhancing the wine's sensorial properties during 110 months on lees. Released in selected vintages only.
