Celler Credo Miranius 2019
Catalonia, Penedès DO, Spain
Recaredo - 3 generations of quality, natural and pure essence Corpinnat (high quality traditional method sparkling wine that has strict regulations) began to make single vineyard still white wines from the same native grapes use to make Corpinnat (Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada). These vineyards are at steep elevations (200-600 meters) in sub areas of the Penedes region. All produced organically and biodynamically, low yields, ambient yeast fermented, some skin contact in old clay vessels and unfiltered.
The Miranius on the label is the sly little fox who waits for the precisely the right moment to sneak into the vineyard in stealth mode and eat the delicious Macabeo and Xarel-lo grapes. MIranius is the only 100% Xarel-lo single varietal wine made in the region. Extended skin contact and aged for 3 months on the lees, this wine is so full of character and unique freshness.
Such a pale lemon color it’s almost translucent. Perfumed floral bouquet with green fruit, yellow plum, citrus, doughy character, warm fresh herbs (thyme, fennel).
Crisp acidity, buttery saline mouthfeel with flavors of green apple and grass, gooseberry, lime zest, peach, ginger zip - it tastes like the Mediterranean Sea with some fruit freshness. This wine is just bright all around in its personality and life.
Pair with gambas à la plancha, marinated mussels, chorizo bread bites or friend calamari.
