The 2018 Recaredo Corpinnat Subtil Brut Nature is a distinctive sparkling wine from Corpinnat in Penedès, crafted exclusively from Xarel·lo grown on organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards. Produced using the traditional method and aged for an extended period on lees under natural cork, this Brut Nature is bottled with no added dosage, highlighting the purity of the fruit and the character of its terroir. The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, ripe apple, white peach and toasted almond, layered with delicate pastry notes, chalky minerality and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is dry and finely textured with exceptionally fine bubbles and vibrant acidity. Flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and roasted hazelnut are complemented by creamy lees complexity and a pronounced mineral backbone, leading to a long, precise and bone-dry finish. Extended bottle ageing adds depth while preserving the wine's freshness and elegance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium traditional-method sparkling wine with finesse and complexity. It pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, roast chicken or aged Manchego cheese. Drinking superbly now, it will continue to develop additional complexity over the next8–12 years under proper cellaring conditions.
