The wine
What does this wine taste like?
Recaredo Terrers is a Cava with very fine bubbles which slowly rise upwards in the glass. Visually delightful to be sure on a Champagne flute, but if you're wanting to enjoy all its complexity, we suggest you drink it like a very fine wine, in a wide glass. Then you will appreciate on the nose the minerality of the terroir, those calcareous soils, and be seduced by its freshness of ripe white fruit, shrouded in very subtle smoky notes, a gentle floral perfume, and a background of bitter almonds which confers a special character. This is a superior Cava, although the range’s starting point.
On the palate it is simply majestic. It is creamy, but glides lightly over the tongue. Savour it in the mouth, that delicious mousse, with a very refined carbonic presence. After a slight temperature rise in the glass, the quality of the base wine becomes more evident, and some delightful floral notes appear, fresh country aromas such as fennel, and the creaminess still remains, constantly kept in check by an acidity achieving the requisite balance.

Recaredo
Recaredo is and has constantly been synonymous with quality, praised for its fine merits: profound, complex, silky, lively and elegant Cavas, with a lengthy lifetime ahead for the most sublime. These Cavas are made from grapes originating solely from their own vineyards, grown organically and bio-dynamically (both certified), without the addition of sugar (always Brut Nature) and with very long ageing in bottle (always Gran Reserva), using natural cork and with disgorgement...
