CELLER CREDO 'CAN CREDO' 2021

Information

Can Credo is made exclusively with grapes from a family-owned vineyard, the Pedregar –in the county of Alt Penedès, Barcelona. All of the vineyards have been cultivated according to the principles of organic, biodynamic agriculture. We let cover crop grow spontaneously between the vines. This cover plays a crucial role, loosening the soil, regulating water retention and drainage (essential in the dry farming system we practise), and helping to foster biodiversity and maintain a balance in the vineyard ecosystem. Natural treatments based on medicinal plants (phytotherapy) are applied to the vines to control the presence of fungus and strengthen the vines defences in a natural way. All grapes are harvested by hand in crates to ensure the excellent quality of the fruit. Before pressing, the grapes used to make Can Credo wines are inspected on a manual selection table. Balanced and deep, Can Credo expresses the character of Xarel·lo grape grown in a calcareous soil. During the winemaking process, we destem the grapes and macerate them on the skins for some days. Then we draw off the must without pressing to separate the most elegant and subtle fraction of the juice. Fermentation on indigenous yeast isolated from our vineyards takes place in oak casks, where the wine is aged and the bâtonnage (lees stirring) is carried out for about one month. Can Credo may contain completely natural sediments due to our minimal intervention.

Celler Credo
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.
