Product Description
Details

In 1962, Josep Mata Capellades, the founder of the Recaredo winery, decided to craft an age-worthy Spanish sparkling wine wine which could express the amazing potential of the Xarel·lo and Macabeo varieties for producing world-class sparkling wines.

The result was the sparkling wine Recaredo Reserva Particular.

Produced under the Corpinnat label, this blended organic sparkling wine is sourced from old Xarel·lo (53%) and Macabeo vineyards (47%). They are farmed following the principles of biodynamic agriculture (Demeter certified).

The Xarel·lo grapes were fermented in oak barrels, while the Macabeo completed the process in stainless steel tanks.

Then this Corpinnat sparkling wine was blended, bottled and aged on its lees for no less than 80 months.

Finally, the sparkling wine Recaredo Reserva Particular 2017 was manually disgorged in March 2025 and added no shipping liquor. 

Open the bottle 30 minutes before drinking.

5,473 bottles produced.

Appearance

The organic sparkling wine Recaredo Reserva Particular is medium yellow with some green tinges.

Nose

Amazingly pure and deep. Terroir-bound and very well defined, with alluring mineral undertones and lively floral notes, nuanced by some delicate spicy and buttery remembrances, coming from the fermentation in oak of Xarel·lo. Ever-evolving, as the wine opens we also smell aromas of aniseed, smoke, dry fruit and citrus, typical of the Macabeo variety.

Palate

Dry and crisp, with a laser-like precision and still room for growth. Exceptional acidity, rock-solid structure and remarkable integration of bubbles. This Corpinnat sparkling wine from bodega Recaredo suggests white fruit, Mediterranean underbrush, white flowers, orange blossom and lemon rind. Distant echoes of smoke and flint, and again a buttery remembrance. Extremely long, complex finish. 

Our personal opinion

The formidable sparkling wine Recaredo Reserva Particular 2017 is, plain and simple, a world-class sparkler.
