Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
All their wines are Brut Nature, and so is the 2017 Serral del Vell, a blend of 87% Xarel.lo and 13% Macabeo. For them, it was an earlier harvest but within the normal parameters. This is a single-vineyard wine from soils with a very high content of calcium carbonate (33% active limestone), which gives the wine a very lively palate with a clear salty twist. The first vintage of this wine was 2006 and was born with less Xarel.lo, but the percentage has grown over the years because it started with a more classical blend with close to 50% Macabeo. They look for the expression of the soil here, narrower and more direct, with more tension and with tons of elegance from the aging with the lees, very integrated and balanced, keeping the acidity. It developed an acute note of licorice with time in the glass. It was disgorged after 56 months sur lie, because demand outgrows supply. They have 47,000 bottles of this vintage, which should last them for two years, so the 2018 will have a longer aging in bottle when it's released.

Description
Recaredo's Serral del Vell Brut Nature is clear evidence that sparkling wines are conquering the finest palates. And the weaknesses associated with sparkling wines are overshadowed by this marvellous wine.
It is the product of processing xarel-lo and macabeo grapes, grown in calcareous soils, under biodynamic conditions and maintaining the harmony of the environment.
Of course, the use of chemical products is null and void, and a plant cover is left to grow on each row, which enhances the characteristic aromas and flavours of Recaredo wines.
It is a wine that denotes elegance on the palate and shines with its golden sparkles, denoting the quality of those who have put their hands to work to bring this majestic beverage to the market.
Winemaking
The wine is made without the use of chemicals and in harmony with the environment. After the grapes are harvested by hand and the fruit is processed, the must of the Xarel-lo grapes is partially fermented in barrels.
Then it undergoes a second fermentation, but already in the bottle, and after that, it is aged for 8 years.
The disgorging is handmade and cold, without adding any type of sugar, as the aim is to preserve the purity that characterises Recaredo wines.
Taste
The result of the transformation of these fruits is a sparkling wine with a creamy texture, which can also be defined as ample, refined and powerful. The smoothness of its bubbles denotes elegance, as do the citrus and herbaceous tones.
