Jaume Vial Quintana (Maçanet de Cabrenys, 1959) is a highly respected figure in the world of sparkling wine. In recent years, we've known him as the head of Bodega Mestres, famous for its long aging processes. He wore the winery's colors with such pride and dedication that many people only discovered on its centenary celebration that he wasn't the owner. "I've never claimed to be the boss. I'm a professional who had the family's trust. And I'll always be grateful for that. Every job I've taken on, I've approached as a personal challenge. I took on the Mestres challenge thinking it would be my last," he explained to ARA. But it wasn't.

The Gramona winery recently hosted an informative event focused on geosensory tasting, a discipline that emphasizes the direct relationship between landscape, terroir, and the sensory properties of wine. Winegrowers and producers shared practices in the vineyard, the winery, and during tasting, with the expression of the soil in the wine as the central theme.

Since the death of his cousin Xavier in 2023, Jaume Gramona has been the president of Gramona, one of the most innovative wineries in the Penedès region.
