Frequently asked about Reserva Particular Brut Nature
What does Recaredo Reserva Particular taste like?
Mediterranean herb, candied citrus, honeyed nuts and fine lees on the nose; saline minerality, creamy lees, a long bead and elegant finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long, savoury finish.
When should I drink Reserva Particular?
Drink between 3 and 25 years from vintage. The 100-plus month lees ageing has already delivered substantial autolytic complexity; the wine ages beautifully toward tertiary honeyed-nut and white-truffle depth over decades.
Is Reserva Particular vegan?
Yes. The Recaredo estate is Demeter-certified biodynamic and uses no animal-derived fining agents; all wines are hand-disgorged with zero dosage.
What food pairs with Reserva Particular?
Aged Iberian ham, suquet de peix, aged Comte 36 months and truffled risotto. The 100-month lees depth rewards serious savoury cooking with umami and saline elements.
