‘Homenatge a Josep Mata Capellades 2004’ was born from the collaboration between the second and third generations of the family to honor the legacy of Josep Mata Capellades, founder of Recaredo, marking 100 years since the beginning of a passion for quality and truly terroir-driven sparkling wines.
With a blend of 67% Macabeo and 33% Xarel·lo from old family-owned vineyards in the Alt Penedès, this long-aged Brut Nature showcases a fresh, balanced acidity and reflects its terroir. It is a limited edition of just 2,850 bottles.
The Xarel·lo, fermented in French oak barrels, and the extended aging of 224 months on the lees, lend depth, delicate and well-integrated bubbles, capturing the essence of the vintage. This wine is a tribute to the patience, time, and dedication of Josep Mata Capellades, who passed on his passion for crafting terroir-driven wines.
