2019 Celler Credo Mirabelles BIO

2019 Celler Credo Mirabelles BIO is the flagship white wine from one of Penedès’ most thoughtful and terroir-driven producers. Crafted from the rare, indigenous Malvasia de Sitges grape, this organic and biodynamic cuvée is part of Celler Credo’s Biodiversity ‘Mirabelles’ collection, created to showcase both liveliness and remarkable aging potential. With production limited to around 750 bottles, it offers an unusually pure, site-expressive interpretation of one of the great traditional varieties of the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Mirabelles shows a deep, luminous golden hue that immediately signals both concentration and maturity. The nose is understated yet complex, with an emphasis on mineral tones and a sense of stone over fruit: subtle notes of dried apricot skin, citrus zest, chamomile and wild herbs emerge gradually, framed by a chalky, almost saline impression. On the palate, the wine is strikingly dry, linear and vibrant, driven by a mouthwatering acidity that Luis Gutiérrez of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has described as almost “salivating.” Texture is key here: you feel the limestone signature in the firm, tactile mouthfeel, more terroir than aromatic grape. Flavors of apricot peel, citrus rind, crushed stone and a gentle bitter-almond nuance lead into a long, structured finish. Thanks to its strong backbone and low alcohol, the 2019 vintage has excellent aging potential; expect it to gain in complexity and elegance over the next 5–10 years, with more nutty, honeyed and savory notes developing over time.

Production
Mirabelles comes from a single family-owned vineyard in Can Rossell de la Serra (Torrelavit), in the heart of Penedès, sitting at about 280 meters above sea level. The 0.9-hectare plot is rooted in clay-limestone soils, which lend both tension and a distinct mineral character to the wine. Farmed according to certified organic and biodynamic principles, the vineyard is managed as a living ecosystem, with biodiversity encouraged rather than suppressed. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and natural balance, particularly important for a low-alcohol style. In the cellar, Celler Credo follows a minimalist, “vin naturel” philosophy: gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, very low sulphite additions, and no unnecessary intervention, all to capture a pure expression of Malvasia de Sitges and its Penedès terroir.

Food & Serving
This is a gastronomic white that shines at the table, especially with thoughtfully prepared, subtly flavored dishes. Pair it with seafood such as grilled octopus, shellfish, or simply prepared white fish, as well as vegetable-focused cuisine—artichokes, fennel, asparagus and dishes with herbal or citrus accents all work beautifully. It also complements aged goat and sheep cheeses, poultry with lemon and herbs, and refined Mediterranean small plates. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its tension and complexity. A short decant of 15–30 minutes or some time in a large-bowled glass helps the wine open up and reveal its layers, especially as it gains bottle age.

Producer
Celler Credo is the still-wine project of Recaredo, one of Penedès’ most respected and pioneering estates, best known for its long-aged, terroir-driven sparkling wines and its early adoption of biodynamic viticulture. Based in the historic heart of the region, Recaredo and Celler Credo have played a key role in redefining quality wine from Penedès, championing native varieties, single-vineyard expressions and low-intervention winemaking. With Celler Credo, the family focuses on pure, site-specific whites—often from Xarel·lo and other indigenous grapes like Malvasia de Sitges—crafted as natural wines with minimal sulphites and maximum transparency. Their work has earned international recognition for authenticity, sustainability and for helping to restore the prestige of traditional Penedès varieties on the global stage.
