General Information
Recaredo Terrers Brut Nature 2019 is made from vineyards owned by the winery in the Alt Penedès area. A mosaic of small, low-yield vineyards worked according to biodynamic principles, on calcareous soils that impart personality, and harvested by hand. Its composition includes the varieties xarel·lo (57%), macabeo (25%), parellada (17%), and monastrell (1%). A long aging of 31 months in the bottle gives it complexity and volume. Manual disgorging.
Recaredo Terrers is the result of organic and biodynamic viticulture and a carefully crafted artisanal production process. The harvest was carried out manually to ensure the perfect sanitary condition of the grapes. The disgorging was also done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle. The term Brut Nature indicates that it is a completely dry sparkling wine, without the addition of expedition sugar.
The sparkling wines of Recaredo are characterized by their freshness and Mediterranean style. These are Brut Nature style sparkling wines (without the addition of sugar) that undergo long aging with natural cork stoppers, a commitment to quality and sustainability.
The winery markets its sparkling wines under the collective brand Corpinnat, created with the intention of distinguishing the great sparkling wines born in the heart of Penedès from 100% organic grapes, hand-harvested and entirely vinified on the property.
The winery
Recaredo is a family of biodynamic winegrowers specializing in vintage Brut Nature wines marked by the hallmark of long aging.

Recaredo’s sparkling wines are the most sublime expression of time, with aging periods ranging from 30 months to over 20 years. Aging at Recaredo is always done with natural cork stoppers, a technically ideal material for preserving the original essence of a long-aged sparkling wine.
