Recaredo Corpinnat Serral del Vell Brut Nature 2017 Disg. June 2023

Recaredo Corpinnat Serral del Vell Brut Nature is a biodynamic single-vineyard sparkling wine from the Alt Penedès, given 64 months on lees before disgorgement.

Corpinnat is the collective mark adopted by a small group of Penedès growers who left Cava in order to guarantee estate-grown, hand-harvested and organically farmed fruit with long lees ageing. Recaredo, based at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, is among the founders and works its own vineyards biodynamically. Serral del Vell is a sloping estate looking towards the Montserrat massif, its plateau built on calcareous lumps and limestone eroded from the Serra del Mar and the Serra Catalana, with as much as 33 per cent active limestone in the most mineral parcels. The blend here is 87 per cent Xarel·lo and 13 per cent Macabeu from mature vines cropped at 26.5 hl/ha. Only the Xarel·lo base wines are fermented in large-format oak; the Macabeu is raised in tank. The wine then spends 64 months on lees and is disgorged with no dosage added.

Drinking well now and with the structure to hold for several more years. Good with oysters, jamón or a roast chicken, served at about 8°C.
