The prestigious Recaredo winery, the first Spanish sparkling wine producer to obtain a Demeter Certification for biodynamic agriculture, presents the new vintage of the sparkling wine Recaredo Serral del Vell, formerly known as Recaredo Brut de Bruts.
This Corpinnat organic sparkling wine is produced from grapes sourced exclusively from Finca Serral del Vell, an exceptional vineyard classified as Paraje Calificado and located on a plateau composed of limestone soils on the riverbanks of the Bitlles river.
This excellent Corpinnat Brut Nature is a blend of 85% Xarel·lo and 15% Macabeo sourced from low-yielding vineyards. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.
After completing secondary fermentation in the bottle, the sparkling wine Recaredo Serral del Vell 2018 was aged for more a minimum of 5 years. Each bottle was manually disgorged.
It is advisable to open the bottle of this vegan sparkling wine some time before you drink it.
| Appearance | The sparkling wine Recaredo Finca Serral del Vell is deep straw with some steely and greenish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Intensely balsamic, this blend of Macabeo and Xarel·lo suggests aromas of white fruit nuanced by hints of fennel, liquorice and aniseed, dim remembrances of lees and white flowers, and some mineral intimations. The nose of this Corpinnat sparkling wine shows real complexity and refinement. |
| Palate | Extremely fresh, with a delightful intrincacy and some potential for growth, this organic sparkling wine of the Recaredo winery nicely combines remembrances of white fruit, Mediterranean herbs, some buttery and creamy notes and a touch of dry fruit. Crisp and dry, extremely pure, the wine ends with an elegantly bitter note, Xarel·lo's trademark. |
| Our personal opinion | In one word: sensational. The sparkling wine Recaredo Serral del Vell 2018 follows the path of the world's great sparklers. |
