"The transparency of a landscape: terroir sparkling wines that defy time through biodynamics and the artisanal craft of hand disgorgement."
01. The Mata Family Legacy and the Alt Penedès
Founded in 1924 by Josep Mata Capellades in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Recaredo is a century-old family winery and a reference for terroir sparkling wines. It farms its vineyards with Demeter biodynamic certification, without synthetic herbicides or fertilizers, and the leading variety is Xarel·lo, with firm acidity, structure and a saline character.
Within our selection of wines of Spain, Recaredo stands out as a founding member of Corpinnat, a European collective brand created to distinguish Penedès sparkling wines made from organic grapes, vinified on the estate and with a minimum bottle aging of 18 months.
At La Cava Shop you will find these labels with free shipping from $1,499 MXN anywhere in Mexico, storage in climate-controlled cellars and 90 days for free returns. Also explore the sparkling wines and the Penedès wines.

03. Craft and Time
Natural Cork
At Recaredo, the second fermentation and the aging in the cellars are done with a natural cork stopper, not a metal crown cap. It is a traditional method that supports long aging and makes them wines for cellaring.
Hand Disgorgement
Disgorgement, the removal of the lees, is done by hand, bottle by bottle. Because they are Brut Nature, they carry no dosage sugar: they are dry, food-friendly and transparent.
Native Varieties: Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada
Recaredo's blends celebrate the traditional grapes of the Alt Penedès. Xarel·lo brings structure, nerve and minerality; Macabeo, delicacy and white fruit; and Parellada, acidity and floral notes.
04. Brut Nature Pairing
Because they are made as Brut Nature, Recaredo's Corpinnat wines are dry and highly food-friendly. They go well with raw seafood and oysters, Iberian ham, baked fish, seafood rice, game birds and artisanal cheeses. Their fine bubbles cleanse the palate between bites. Serve between 6 °C and 8 °C.
