The 2013 Recaredo Corpinnat Reserva Particular Brut Nature is the flagship sparkling wine of Recaredo, crafted from 56% Xarel·lo and 44% Macabeu grown on organically and biodynamically farmed estate vineyards in Corpinnat, Penedès. Aged for 99 months on lees under natural cork and bottled with no added dosage, it is a remarkable expression of time, terroir and traditional craftsmanship. The nose is complex and elegant, offering aromas of preserved lemon, baked apple, toasted brioche, caramel, roasted nuts and chamomile, layered with chalky minerality and delicate balsamic notes.
On the palate, it is bone dry and beautifully refined, with exceptionally fine bubbles and vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruit, toasted almond and pastry. Extended lees ageing brings depth and a creamy texture, while a pronounced mineral backbone carries through to a long, precise and persistent finish that remains remarkably fresh despite its extended maturation.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of Spain's finest long-aged traditional method sparkling wines. It pairs beautifully with oysters, lobster, scallops, roast poultry or aged Manchego cheese. Drinking superbly now, the 2013 vintage will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years under proper cellaring conditions.
