Celler Credo | Penedès | Ratpenat | 2018 | 750ml | bio

Description

If you pay as much attention to your terroir, to analysing and cultivating it as the sparkling wine producer Recaredo does, then at some point you will also want to produce still wines from the interplay of the best soils and native grape varieties, biodynamic cultivation, and manual processing. For this purpose, the family founded the Celler Credo in the mid-1990s, whose logo is adorned with the meadowfoam found in the vineyards. In the meantime, there are about eight hectares of vineyards, which are mainly reserved for Xarel-lo and a little bit also for Macabeu. The vines are planted on loam, lime, and gravel, and the grapes are always fermented spontaneously and often with prolonged maceration times to an orange wine appearance, sometimes also as Pét Nats and always with the lowest sulphur additions or completely without sulphites. “Xarel-lo is our credo” is the winery’s motto.
