What strikes many as an usual blend is fairly common in Penedes aromatic whites made from a mix of "northern" and indigenous varieties. In the case of Gessami, it is a blend of the native Muscat (both Frontignan and d'Alexandrie are grown by Gramona), and the non native but heat tolerant Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. Well over half of the cuvee is Sauvignon Blanc, which provides both the body and acidity and depending on the vintage, either one or both varieties of Muscat are used in addition to a small proportion of Gewurztraminer to boost the aromatics. Such a floral and alluring wine is fittingly named Gessami, which in English means Jasmine.
