Recaredo, family of winegrowers. Recaredo Terrers reveals the diversity of calcareous soils and microclimates of the Alt Penedès region. The vineyards stand on loamy soils (balance of sand, silt and clay) and on highly calcareous land which gives a great character and complexity to our wines.

Organic farming. No chemical herbicides or insecticides are used. Only natural organic fertiliser.

Hand-harvested grapes to maintain the properties of the fruits used for a long-aged cava

In-house vinification. Vinification, winemaking and ageing are carried out entirely in Recaredo. With the aim to imbue the final cava with more structure and elegance, 4 % of the blending corresponds to wines that have aged in oak casks.

Long-aged wines. Secondary fermentation and bottle ageing are done exclusively with natural cork stoppers. Cork is sustainable, recyclable and ideal for retaining the original character of a long-aged cava.

Manual disgorging without freezing. Disgorging (the uncorking process) is done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle, a technique based on skilled craftsmanship and respect for the environment.

The vintage is vibrant and balanced, marked by meteorological contrasts, with high temperatures and little rain in the autumn and winter months. Rains were erratic in the spring, and in May a record rainfall was recorded in the vineyards (155.7 l/m2). Mildew came on hard but the biodynamic treatments we applied proved highly effective. In the end, the grapes harvested were of high quality and in exceptionally good health.

• Average yield for Recaredo vineyards in 2008: 34.2 hl/ha
• Upper limit set by the Cava Regulatory Board: 88 hl/ha

A unique commitment

100% Vintage Brut Nature

For almost a century, Recaredo has maintained a firm commitment: to produce terroir wines that reflect the landscapes of the Alt Penedès (Barcelona) as honestly and transparently as possible.

We make only vintage brut nature cavas with a distinctive character marked by long ageing.

Our sparkling wines have forged a truly unique styledefined by elegance and subtlety. From the vineyards to the winery, to our cellars, at Recaredo every step is audited and certified by the independent verification body Bureau Veritas, a process that attests to our unique vocation as grape growers and winemakers.

Costers del Bitlles©

Genuine terroir character

At Recaredo we farm just 50 hectares of family-owned vineyards in the Bitlles River watershed, in the county of Alt Penedès (Barcelona). The Bitlles winds its way through a varied landscape of forests, hills and ravines, including sites of great natural beauty, all dominated by the imposing presence of the mountain of Montserrat.

As grape growers and winemakers, we’ve specialised in long-aged brut nature cavas, entering into a tacit agreement with the land and tradition, a pact under which we seek to articulate truly honest stories, to express the distinctive features of the landscape through wines, vintage after vintage.

Artisans of the land

100% Organic, biodynamic agriculture

A great wine is one that reflects its land of origin. This is the reason why we practise dry farming, apply the principles of biodynamic agriculture, and cultivate our vineyards without herbicides or insecticides, using only elements of natural origin.

Biodynamic agriculture is a cultivation system aimed at achieving a balanced ecosystem and fostering biodiversity in the vineyard.

Biodynamic agriculture, which focuses on the biological dimension of farming, is an approach that enables us to produce highly expressive sparkling wines with great ageing potential. And, most importantly, it lets us do this in a way that respects the landscape where our wines originate.

Recaredo is the first producer of cava with protected designation of origin to obtain Demeter's international certification for biodynamic viticulture.

Minimum of 30 months’ ageing

Long ageing subtlety

Like sentinels waiting patiently in silence, Recaredo’s bottles remain in the darkness of our cellars for at least 30 months (two and a half years), until they achieve a truly unique character.

In the case of Recaredo’s most exclusive family wine cellars, some of our sparkling wines are aged for nearly 30 years, preserving the delicacy of time and a wealth of elegant and complex nuances.

1924. Point of departure

The beginning of an exciting story

In 1924 Josep Mata Capellades made his start in the world of cava as a disgorger and professional winemaker. He took up his pick and spade and began building cellars right under his home in the historic centre of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia (Barcelona).

This was the start an exciting story of enterpriserooted in the craft of disgorgement. As a legacy of his life experience, our grandfather left us these words: ‘Since 1924 I’ve been working on matters of champagne and other experiments.’
