'Volaina' 2020
PRAISE
Tradition blended seamlessly with the avant-garde.
- Description
- Grapes, Region, etc.
‘Volaina’ rediscovers the delicacy and freshness of the Mediterranean Parellada variety, cultivated at an elevation of over 500 metres, while also supporting the Catalan Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, which studies the role of this group of insects (“volaines” in Catalan) as bioindicators.
“Defenders of bio (life) and dynamics (movement). We’re guided by the values that bring us closer to the land, territories, and landscapes of which we form part”. You can find this beautiful statement on the website of Celler Credo, which is a wine project led by Ton Mata, whose family established Recaredo (famous for sparkling wines). For almost a century, Recaredo has maintained a firm commitment to terroir wines that reflect their land (Alt Penedès). At Celler Credo, they interpret the grape variety Xarel-lo – “aged on lees, macerated with grape skin or stem, and no sulphites added – made today using techniques learned from our grandparents yesterday.”
A project started in the ’90s but really took off in 2013. Fully biodynamic and dry-farmed in the vineyards, the vines grow among fennel, wild radish, insects, and animals that contribute and bring balance to the ecosystem. Along with Xarel-lo, single varietal bottlings of Macabeu and Parellada complement the lineup. The wines all have purity, aromatically complex, and are always the best expression of the land in Alt Penedès.
