Tasting note
- Colour & Appearance
- Slightly hazy rose-gold in the glass.
- Nose
- Extremely refreshing and characterised by a fine, pleasantly bitter edge. Clear aromas of fresh apple emerge, underpinned by invigorating wild herbs. The bouquet feels immensely clean, focused and unpretentious.
- Palate
- On the palate, this orange wine displays a tactile grip, wonderful structure and consistent fine spice. Despite a lean 11% ABV, the wine by no means feels thin, surprising instead with its complexity and remarkable mouthfeel. A taut, immensely quaffable drop that elegantly counters the intense summer heat typical of the Penedès.
- Finish
- The finish is long, stylishly invigorating and seamlessly continues the savoury herbal spice found on the palate.
- Terroir & Origin
- The grapes hail from Alt Penedès, the highest sub-zone of the region. Situated at altitudes of up to 600 metres, cool nights ensure the wine’s vibrant acidity and freshness. Celler Credo – the still wine project of the Recaredo family – views the vineyard as an intact ecosystem, where medicinal herbs and insects enrich the soil.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Crafted from the rare red Xarel·lo, a mutation with pink berry skins grown on just a few hundred hectares in Spain. The grapes are biodynamically cultivated. Fermentation took place on the skins for ten days. The wine was bottled unfined, unfiltered and with only a minimal addition of sulphur.
- Food Pairings
- Outstanding with crispy seared tuna or delicate sushi.
- Particularities
- A fascinating skin-contact wine made from an absolute niche grape variety. Here, Celler Credo spectacularly proves just how much freshness and drinkability a low-intervention wine from the Mediterranean region can possess.
