The Celler Credo Mirabelles is the top model of this fantastic winery. Organic, biodynamic white wine. Biodiversity Collection
'Mirabelles', a wine that shows the vibrancy of Malvasia de Sitges and its extraordinary aging potential. A new encounter with one of the great native varieties of Penedès
Mirabelles represents another step forward in Celler Credo's commitment to rediscover and explore the traditional varieties of the Penedès region. Mirabelles is made from a family vineyard in Can Rossell de la Serra (Torrelavit), grown according to the principles of organic and biodynamic farming. The vineyard, which covers a total of 0.9 hectares, stands at an altitude of 280 meters and is made of clay-loam soil.
The Mirabelles has a deep golden color in the glass. On the nose and palate the wine has fantastic lively acidity, and the texture and mouthfeel limestone - very dry and with a terroir sensation rather than the aromatic grape. It does have some notes reminiscent of apricot peel and it develops nicely in the glass. A wine that becomes more elegant and special with some years due to the great backbone. Only around 750 bottles are always made of this topper from Celler Credo Mirabelles.
“This is quite unique and very attractive. If one wine makes you salivate, it's this one!!” Robert Parker Wine Advocate Luis Gutierrez

Recaredo Corpinnat is without doubt a reference for long-aged cavas and, together with Mestres and Gramona, is considered the Grandcru and the top of the cavas. Recaredo also has a silent white wine project and these wines are made under the Celler Credo name. Celler Credo or 'free-of-mind' label from Recaredo. With these still white wines, the Recaredo team discovers what is possible with Xarel.lo from different teroirs and vinification methods.
Impeccable Vins Natural! Recaredo has acquired a number of (very) special vineyards in the Penedès region for the production of refined natural wines. The aim is a pure expression of Xarel.lo where different fermentation methods and maturation processes are used. The wines are made by the well-known winemakers Nuria Arteaga and Ton Mata and they know exactly how to strike the right chord and make particularly pure and energetic wines from Xarel.lo, whereby the wines, as also with the Cavas from Recaredo, have become benchmark wines for ' nature' style Xarel.lo in the Penedès. Aged on the lees, macerated with the skin or stems of the grape, without the addition of sulphites – modern techniques or techniques learned from our grandparents... In short, a thousand and one ways to interpret Xarel-lo. In other words, Xarel-lo is the Credo.
