WINE MAKING PROCESS
Recaredo Serral del Vell Corpinnat is produced using Xarel·lo and Macabeu grapes. The Xarel·lo base wine undergoes fermentation in large-format oak, while Macabeu is typically fermented in tanks. A key technique is the extended aging of the wine on its lees, which contributes to its complex aromatic profile and textural richness. The producer employs biodynamic and organic viticultural practices. The wine is aged for a significant period, exceeding standard requirements, before disgorgement.
