Recaredo Terrers Corpinnat Brut Nature Bio 2019 white

Recaredo Terrers Corpinnat Brut Nature Bio 2018 is a meticulously crafted sparkling wine from the heart of Catalonia, showcasing the depth and precision that long-aged Spanish bubbles can achieve. Certified organic and biodynamic, this Brut Nature is completely dry, allowing its pure expression of terroir and native grape varieties to shine. As part of the pioneering Corpinnat movement, it represents a new benchmark for premium sparkling wine born in the historic Penedès region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Recaredo Terrers 2018 shows a pale straw to light gold hue, animated by a fine, persistent bead that speaks to its extended aging on the lees. The nose is refined and complex, with aromas of fresh yellow apple, ripe citrus, Anjou pear and quince, layered with notes of toasted brioche, blanched almonds, fennel, wild herbs and a subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, it is dry and incisive, as a Brut Nature should be, yet elegantly textured. Macabeo and Xarel·lo bring tension, backbone and salinity, while Monastrell adds a discreet mid-palate weight and a touch of red-fruited nuance in the background. Flavors of lemon zest, green and golden apple, stone fruit and crushed nuts evolve into savory, almost saline tones, supported by vibrant acidity and a very fine mousse. The finish is long, linear and mineral, with a slight bitter-almond twist that invites another sip. Thanks to its structure and extended bottle aging before release, this 2018 vintage has excellent aging potential, and should continue to gain complexity and tertiary notes of hazelnut, honeycomb and dried flowers over the next 5–8 years or more, if well cellared.

Production
The Terrers cuvée is born in the limestone-rich vineyards of the Penedès, in Catalonia, where the cooler, elevated sites and calcareous, well-drained soils deliver naturally low yields and outstanding acidity—ideal for top-quality sparkling wine. Recaredo farms all its own vines organically and biodynamically, without artificial irrigation, relying on deep-rooted plants to interpret the terroir. Harvesting is carried out exclusively by hand, parcel by parcel, to ensure precise selection of Monastrell, Macabeo and Xarel·lo at optimal ripeness. In the cellar, primary fermentation takes place with great care, often in a mix of stainless steel and, for some components, neutral vessels to build texture without overt oak. The base wines are then blended and bottled for the traditional method second fermentation, where Terrers spends an extended period aging on its lees—far beyond the legal minimum—developing complexity, finesse and a very fine mousse. True to the Brut Nature style, the wine is disgorged without dosage, with Recaredo’s signature practice of manual disgorgement, preserving the wine’s purity and dry, terroir-driven character.

Food & Serving
This precise and mineral Corpinnat is a superb partner for refined, ingredient-driven dishes. It excels with shellfish such as oysters, scallops and prawns, as well as simply grilled fish, sushi and sashimi, or classic Mediterranean seafood rice and paella. Its structure and savory depth also make it a fine match for roast chicken, turkey, Iberian ham, cured meats, soft goat’s cheeses and lightly aged cow’s milk cheeses. Serve well chilled at about 8–10 °C (46–50 °F); no lengthy decanting is required, though pouring it into a white wine glass rather than a narrow flute will allow the complex aromatics to unfold more fully.

Producer
Recaredo, founded in 1924 by Josep Mata Capellades in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, is one of the most revered sparkling wine producers in Spain and a true reference for long-aged, terroir-driven Brut Nature wines. Still family-owned and operated, the estate has been a pioneer in organic and biodynamic viticulture in Penedès, championing dry, gastronomic styles long before they became fashionable. After decades as a leading name in Cava, Recaredo joined forces with other top-quality growers to create the Corpinnat designation, dedicated to premium sparkling wines born in the historic heart of Penedès, from hand-harvested, organically farmed grapes vinified entirely at the estate. The house is renowned for its extended lees aging, manual riddling and disgorgement, and its unwavering focus on expressing calcareous terroir—hallmarks that have earned Recaredo cult status among sommeliers and collectors worldwide.
