Biodynamic. 85% Xarel·lo, 15% Macabeu. This striking single-vineyard wine takes its name from the sloping Serral del Vell estate overlooked by the Montserrat mountains. The soil of the Serral del Vell plateau contains calcareous lumps and quite a bit of limestone from the Serra del Mar and the Serra Catalana, which were deposited in the area due to erosion. From these lean, rocky soils and these mature vines (Xarel.lo planted in 1996 and 1997 and two plots of Macabeo planted in 1989) Recaredo is searching for the truest expression of the site’s most mineral soils (containing 33% active limestone). Only the Xarel·lo base wines are fermented in large-format oak. Recaredo prefers to use tanks for their Macabeu.
