Aloers' was the name given in the Middle Ages to farmers who owned the land they farmed. They were free from any obligation to pay rent or provide services. Celler de Credo by Recaredo Aloers is made with grapes from a unique vineyard in the interior of Alt Penedès, grown according to the principles of organic farming. The vines are 50 years old and the vine training method is based on the shape of the bush. Aloers offers the freshest, most authentic expression of the Mediterranean Xarel·lo, grown on calcareous soils. The Celler Credo team wants to ensure a wine with great vibrancy that can age for a long time. All Celler Credo grapes are harvested by hand to ensure an accurate selection of the fruit and to guarantee the excellent quality. Furthermore, we pay great attention to the maturation of the grapes with the aim of producing wines with natural, fresh acids with the intention of achieving an expressive and balanced wine.
Aloes is made by letting the must macerate for a few hours together with the grape stems and skins. Celler Credo wines always ferment on native yeast isolated from their vineyards, an essential element for producing true terroir wines. To give the wine structure and finesse, the lees are stirred for about a month. After that, the wine remains 6 months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees (sur lie). The Celler Credo Aloers tries to express the terroir as fully as possible and can have completely natural sediments due to the minimal intervention. This Vin Naturale wine is vinified and bottled at Recaredo - the owner of Celler Credo.
The Aloers has a beautiful very light straw yellow color with some smoky/yeasty notes and the wine feels very pure and fresh, which reflects the overall Celler Credo style. It shows the pure Xarello with a controlled alcohol content (12%), persistent acidity and low pH, something they learned from their experience with their sparkling (Recaredo) wines. In the nose aromas of fennel, pear, apricot and wild herbs. The Aloes is flawless with a fine bitterness and good acidity. A minimum of sulfur is also used for this wine and a maximum of 13,000 bottles are produced of this fantastic wine.
