Description

Product description for Celler Credo Ratpenat 2018 (bio)

Christina Hilker: It flows delicately across the tongue, revealing yeasty and subtly spicy notes combined with the fresh fruit of the nose. Its stimulating acidity is very well integrated and beautifully buffered. Connoisseurs who don’t like loud, primarily fruit-driven wines will love this wine. It will also love a cuisine that is as unfussy as the wine itself.

Color

Light straw yellow with delicate green reflections.

Nose

The 2018 Ratpenat is a pleasantly unfussy wine, offering delicate fruit notes of apple, pear, and honeydew melon. Subtle floral notes, yeast, bread dough, and a hint of verbena tea are added, along with a touch of oxygen. Even on the nose, it stands out as pure and clear.

Palate

It flows delicately across the tongue, revealing yeasty and subtly spicy notes combined with the fresh fruit of the nose. Its stimulating acidity is very well integrated and beautifully buffered. Connoisseurs who don’t like loud, primarily fruit-driven wines will love this wine. It will also be loved by a cuisine as unfussy as the wine itself.

The 2018 Ratpenat (which means “bat” in Catalan) is a pure Macabeo from a vineyard planted in 1990 on slate soils, a rarity in Penedès, as most of the soils are limestone-based. This wine was previously produced with grapes from one of their other vineyards before they found this one. The wine is completely different from what they used to get with the grapes with limestone soils (which I had never tasted before). It’s deep, elegant, mineral and original, quite unique. It matured in barrique with bâtonnage for one and a half months and then rested in stainless steel until it was bottled in May 2019. 5,000 bottles produced.
