Information about Recaredo

At Recaredo they maintain a firm commitment: to elaborate terroir wines capable of showing the landscapes of the Alt Penedès in the most honest and transparent way possible.

They exclusively make vintage Brut Nature marked by the imprint of long aging. Our sparkling wines have forged a genuinely unique style defined by elegance and subtlety.

From the vineyard, through the winery and the cellar, all the processes in Recaredo are audited and certified by the independent organization Bureau Veritas; reaffirming our unique vocation in the world as winegrowers and processors.

Recaredo sparkling wines are essentially gastronomic, with a style defined by elegance and subtlety that has captivated the most demanding food and wine critics: from The New York Times, through the prestigious La Revue by Vin de France, the Le Monde newspaper or the influential American magazines Forbes or Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate.

The Recaredo family works only with their own dry-land vineyards with a strong commitment to preserving biodiversity and balance in the ecosystem that has led them to be pioneers in biodynamic certification, a step beyond ecology.

Another of its principles is to work with long aging and in Brut Nature, that is, without any type of dossage or added sugar in the bottling. A style of wine quality sparkling wine made by traditional method.

Recaredo works since 2014 only with historical varieties from the Penedès.

A great wine is the reflection of the land that has seen it born. For this reason, they practice rainfed agriculture following the criteria of biodynamics and cultivating the vineyards without herbicides or insecticides, only with elements of natural origin.

Biodynamic agriculture is a cultivation system that prioritizes the balance of the ecosystem and biodiversity in the vineyard.

Biodynamics, from an essentially biological point of view, offers us the possibility of elaborating highly expressive sparkling wines, with a great breeding capacity and, above all, respectful of the landscape from which they originate.

Recaredo was the first winemaker in the Penedès wine region to obtain the Demeter international certificate for biodynamic viticulture.
