Recaredo awarded ‘Consumer Information’ prize
The Guia de Vins de Catalunya has recognised Recaredo’s efforts to share information with consumers and ensure transparency by awarding the winery its “Consumer Information” prize at a presentation ceremony for the 2017 edition of the guide held at Barcelona’s Liceu opera house. The jury commended the winemaker for specifying the exact blend of grape varieties, the months of ageing on lees, and the date of disgorgement on the back label. Another factor in its decision was the information provided on the label concerning the agricultural method for growing the grapes and the production process, details certified by the independent verification body Bureau Veritas.
Under the title A UNIQUE COMMITMENT, the Recaredo label provides the following information:
100% Recaredo-owned vineyards in Alt Penedès.
100% Organic, biodynamic viticulture.
100% Vinification and production on the estate.
100% Hand-riddling on racks.
100% Manual disgorging without freezing.
In line with its commitment to honesty and transparency, since 2003 Recaredo has had all its production processes and vineyard work audited and certified.
