Organic/Bio Without a doubt, the greatest Cava we've ever tasted - which is probably related to the winery's decision to leave the Cava DO and bottle this without designation. Josep Matep started Caves Recaredo in 1924 while working as a sparkling wine disgorger. Today the winery owns some of the finest sparkling wine vineyards in the Penedes, mostly on chalky/limestone soils similar to Champagne. Farming is certified organic and biodynamic, blends are traditional, aging long, and disgorgement is “warm” (no freezing of the bottle neck) with zero added sugar.
In the 2017 vintage, it’s 50% Xarello, 38% Macabeu, 12% Parellada made in tank and with around 4.5 ears on the lees before hand riddling and disgorgement. Wildly complex on the nose and palate with layer upon layer of salty, nutty, stony character and vivid green apple and fresh citrus flavors. Finishes long, pure, salty/nutty and dry. Fans of minerally Champagne will love this as will anyone snacking on oysters or fresh cheeses.
