Description

Product description for Recaredo Terrers, Brut Nature 2019 (bio)

The 65-hectare Recaredo winery is one of the most traditional in the entire Cava region and also the most consistent. This encompasses many aspects, including the appellation. In 2017, the winery, along with ten other producers, withdrew from the Cava DO and now produces its sparkling wines under the name Corpinnat. The foundations of this group are organic or biodynamic cultivation and a minimum of 18 months of aging in the bottle. But the Recaredo winery, founded in 1921, goes even further. For tirage, or the second fermentation, only wild yeast strains and sweet must from the winery’s own grapes are used. In the winery’s cellars, every single bottle ages under cork for at least 30 months. Every single Corpinnat is a Gran Reserva with a vintage indication and is disgorged by hand. This is the gold standard!

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. It was disgorged in December 2024.

A blend of 57% Xarel·lo, 25% Macabeu, 17% Parellada and 1% Monastrell, the 2019 Terrers spent 42 months on lees and was disgorged in January of 2024. Yellow in hue, its spiced nose features curry, aniseed and Marsala, along with balsamic notes. Dry and refreshing, the mousse-like palate lingers long with a chalky texture. Saline and flavorful, this is a beautiful take on Cor-pinnat.
