Description

Recaredo Corpinnat 'Serral del Vell' Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2018Comprised of Xarello with a nearly equal amount of Macabeu; from the oldest vines situated on the Recaredo estates at Can Romeu (Sant Sadurn dAnoia), La Pedra Blanca (Subirats) and Can Rosell de la Serra (Torrelavit), all in the Alt Peneds region; all the must from the Xarello grapes. The wine is fermented in oak barrels, marked by notes of ripe fruits married to a lively citrus infused backbone: the height of elegance. Aged a minimum of 7 years on

and planted in the early 1950s (with a portion replanted in 2010)

it presents notes of acacia honey

“Mar y Muntanya” (“Sea and Mountains” in Catalan) combines 45% each Syrah and Carignan with a splash of Grenache

with notes of candied citrus and fresh nuts given definition by a subtle appetizing bitterness on the finish

Vinified and aged entirely in tank using classic semi-carbonic maceration

Xavier owns a sizable holding in this mid-slope vineyard

The richness of the fruit is placed in balance by bright acidity
