Depth and transparency. Complexity and freshness. Recaredo Terrers represents the most sincere, precise expression of the traditional grapes of Penedès, with special prominence of the Xarel·lo variety.
We make Recaredo Terrers from a mosaic of family-owned vineyards. The plots are located in the Corpinnat territory, the birthplace of great sparkling wines within the historic winegrowing area of the Penedès south of Barcelona where at the end of the XIX century winemaking of these sparkling wines was initiated following the traditional method.
57% Xarel·lo, 25% Macabeu, 17% Parellada, 1% Monastrell. Long-aged with natural cork stopper, a true commitment to quality and sustainability. Ideal for long ageing.
Months of Ageing: 47
Date of Disgorgement: 02/27/2025
I tasted again the 2019 Terrers, a blend of 57% Xarel·lo, 25% Macabeu, 17% Parellada and 1% Monastrell from close to 60 different vineyards, all organic and biodynamic. It was cropped from a very good vintage, with quality and volume, now disgorged after 53 months in bottle with the lees. Since 2017, they have used concentrated must from the same vintage to referment the wine in bottle, and since 2013, they have used indigenous yeasts for the first fermentation. The wine is aging at a slow pace but gaining in nuance and complexity with more time with lees; it's serious, subtle, elegant, pretty much the house signature, with pungent flavors, incisive, direct and fresh, lively, with finer bubbles and leesy flavors. It comes in at 12% alcohol, with a pH of 3.19 and 4.6 grams of acidity. 260,000 bottles produced. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2032
