Recaredo: Celler Credo Aloers 2021

Weingut über: Celler Credo Aloers

‘Aloers’ was the name given to farmers in the Middle Ages who owned the land that they cultivated. The white wine Aloers is made exclusively with grapes from La Pedra Blanca family-owned vineyards in the county of Alt Penedès (Barcelona). All our vineyards have been cultivated according to the principles of organic, biodynamic agriculture. We let plant cover grow spontaneously between the vines. This cover plays a crucial role, loosening the soil, regulating water retention and drainage (essential in the dry farming system we practise), and helping to foster biodiversity and maintain a balance in the vineyard ecosystem. Natural treatments based on medicinal plants (phytotherapy) are applied to the vines to control the presence of fungus and strengthen the vine’s defences in a natural way. All Celler Credo grapes are harvested by hand to ensure the excellent quality of the fruit. Aloers offers the freshest, most genuine expression of the Mediterranean Xarel·lo grown on calcareous soils. Celler Credo’s team wants to ensure a wine of great vivacity that can have a long life in the bottle. Aloers is made by allowing the must to macerate for a few hours with the stems and then leaving the wine on the lees for approximately one month and a half. Celler Credo’s wines ferment always on yeast from our vineyards. Aloers seeks to give the fullest possible expression to the terroir and may have completely natural sediments due to our minimal intervention. All our wines are grown, produced and bottled on the property.
