Recaredo is perhaps the name in Cava, and their second line, Celler Credo, is an homage to the incredible terroir and traditions of the Penedรจs, in the form of still wines. Xarel Lo is one of the grapes typically used in Cava, and in varietal, still wines, it is one of the best white wines Spain has to offer (if not the entire wine world). We love it for its intensity, its ability to pick up minerality and its unique savory and herbaceous characteristics.
What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...
โMiraniusโ, which translates loosely into Catalan as โpeers into nestsโ, a tribute to the foxes which sometimes roam their biodiverse vineyards looking for a snack, is 100% Xarelยทlo. Fermentation proceeds spontaneously in stainless steel, and the wine rests on its fine lees in steel for six months before being bottled. โMiraniusโ displays the brisk, agile side of Xarelยทlo, a variety whose relatively neutral fruit character allows for a powerful articulation of calcareous minerality. Xarelยทloโs naturally high acidity brings balance in this warm Mediterranean climate, and indeed this wine is bright, saline, and immensely refreshing, as well as a tremendous value.
