TERRERS BRUT NATURE 2021

Information

Terrers represents the most sincere, precise expression of the traditional grapes of Penedès, with special prominence of the Xarel·lo variety. We make Recaredo Terrers from a mosaic of family-owned vineyards. The plots are located in the Corpinnat territory, the birthplace of great sparkling wines within the historic winegrowing area of the Penedès south of Barcelona where at the end of the XIX century winemaking of these sparkling wines was initiated following the traditional method. Recaredo Terrers has been cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, a step beyond organic. The biodynamic approach allows us to make wines that are rich in nuances, have excellent ageing potential, and respect the natrual environment they come from. We let plant cover grow spontaneously between the vines. This cover crop plays a crucial role loosening the soil, regulating water retention and drainage (essential in a dry farming system), and helping to foster biodiversity.Infusions of plants are applied to the vines to control the presence of fungus in the vineyard and strengthen the vine’s defences. 2021 Vintage No vintage is ever the same as the previous one. And 2021, in particular, brought us mixed feelings. It’s the dream vintage, precise, perfect, with healthy grapes and extraordinary expressiveness. It was a year in which nature was not generous with rainfall, especially in spring, which led us to lose 35% of the expected production for 2021, harvesting an average of 4,700 kg of grapes per hectare. Ageing in the bottle Minimum of 4 years and 2 months (50 months) Brut Nature / With no added sugar Total Sulphur Dioxide 31 mg/l 150 mg/l is the max. permitted by the EU for organic white wines

RECAREDOSince 1924, every bottle of Recaredo has begun with a commitment to origin. Each Corpinnat is born from a single vintage and crafted as a Brut Nature, with no dosage, allowing the character of the year and the landscape to speak for themselves. The grapes come exclusively from the family’s own vineyards, cultivated organically and biodynamically with indigenous varieties deeply rooted in the Penedès. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, and every wine is made on the estate, preserving an unbroken connection between vineyard, cellar and bottle. Time then becomes an essential part of the process. The wines rest on their lees for a minimum of 30 months, while the longest-aged remain for more than 20 years, sealed with natural cork in the darkness and silence of the cellars. Every bottle is riddled by hand on traditional racks and disgorged individually, without freezing the neck — gestures that embody the craftsmanship, precision and patience behind each wine. A way of working shaped by time and guided by a profound respect for the land. Celler Credo de Recaredo Celler Credo is Recaredo’s still white wine project, born from a desire to explore the vineyards of the Penedès through one of their most emblematic varieties: Xarel·lo. We are Xarel·listes — a term coined to describe those who interpret, explore and push the boundaries of this extraordinary grape. Deeply rooted in the Penedès, Xarel·lo brings freshness, vibrant acidity and a remarkable wealth of nuances. In the hands of Celler Credo, it becomes more than a grape variety: it is a way of understanding the landscape, listening to the vineyard and expressing the identity of a singular territory.
