Sparkling

Macabeu

Under the name Macabeu in Penedès, Spain it is used as a minor blending component in quality sparkling.

Delicate, very versatile variety that needs extremely precise winegrowing in order to achieve the best expression. With a short cycle, it is the first variety to be harvested on the estate. Depending on its location on the estate, this same variety can produce two totally different expressions due to the orientation, the soil and the plant material.

Also known as Viura in Rioja where it is used to make still white wine.

Often blended with Xarel.lo & Parellada.

Recaredo Corpinnat ‘Serral del Vell’ Brut Nature 2017

Higher elevation and shift in soil offer a more vertical and mineral style.Xarel-Lo’s gentle bitterness is a perfect balancing agent where acid may be more prominent in Champagne, a lacing of phenolics and elegant bitterness work beautifully in Recaredo’s Corpinnats.Again the oxidative bruised apple and Vino di Pasto cereal flavours come out to play with green leafy herbs. There’s loads of energy and tension as fragrant and perfumed notes come out to play. Beautifully textured
