As we approach Recaredo’s centenary, we are pleased to share with you the chronicle of the 2022/23 wine year, one of the most unusual in our history.

Recaredo is participating in the SensoVI Operational Group, which promotes the use of cork stoppers in the second fermentation of sparkling wine

2023 marks 20 years of independent certification towards transparency and rigour of all of Recaredo’s winemaking and production processes.

The Robert Parker – Green Emblem recognises the value of wineries that have made a concerted effort to adapt their practices to tackle the challenge of climate change.

Selected as the best Catalan wine, best sparkling wine and best Xarel·lo awarding the vintage a score of 9.86.

Recaredo Turó d’en Mota 2008 has been recognised by Robert Parker Wine Advocate as the top-rated wine in Spain, with a score of 97 points.

when Recaredo’s 2022 Corpinnat wines reach your tables, they’ll bear witness to a vintage of very healthy fruit, with unparalleled quality parameters and a memorably expressive range of nuances.

Recaredo’s estates have been used as a setting for the television series based on a novel of the same name by the writer Ildefonso Falcones.

At Recaredo, we’ve been using animal traction to work the oldest vineyards on our estates for over eight years now.

Una de las mejores añadas de los últimos tiempos con una uva plenamente sana, una acidez cítrica extraordinaria y una gran riqueza de aromas y matices.

Scrupulous work in the vineyard has been essential in a vintage that we can’t deny has been very tough due to the pressure of dealing with the mildew, but also satisfying because there’s nothing more rewarding than overcoming a challenge and continuously learning. 

We’ve started the 2020 harvest at Recaredo with picking schedules adapted to new technical requirements.

The 2019 vintage reflects an exuberant and demanding harvest notable for the excellent health of the grapes and the quality of the indigenous varieties.

After a number of vintages marked by drought, we no longer find ourselves looking skywards yearning for rain, and can enjoy like never before the sight and sound of raindrops falling on the earth.

Televisió de Catalunya TV3 recently paid a visit to Recaredo’s vineyards to learn about the importance of animal traction.

At Recaredo we’re committed to using animal traction for ploughing the vineyard where our outstanding Turó d’en Mota is born. We’ve gone back to traditional horse-drawn ploughing in our vineyards to reduce both carbon dioxide emissions and soil compaction.

Recaredo’s Turó d’en Mota is described by ‘Le Monde’ as representing “the best of cava”: a single vineyard planted in 1940, a single variety (Xarel·lo), and a clear intention to make a terroir sparkling wine that is capable of representing a small part of the landscape of Alt Penedès.

After nine years of practising biodynamic farming in Recaredo’s vineyards, we can see that our sparkling wines have an even more vital, expressive character, with a multitude of nuances and superb ageing potential.

Recaredo’s Intens Rosat is the first biodynamic cava ever to receive the Demeter seal of approval. Recaredo started practising biodynamic agriculture in 2006. Four years later, 50 hectares of own vineyards located in Alt Penedès were certified.

Research project Recaredo col·labora amb la Facultat de Veterinària de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) en un projecte de recerca centrat en la integració d’ovelles a les vinyes. L’objectiu és ensinistrar el bestiar oví per a no menjar-se les fulles dels ceps i pasturar únicament les herbes que conformen la coberta vegetal espontània. La […]
