Recaredo & Celler Credo

In 1924, a man named Josep Mata Capellades built a cellar under his house in the historic centre of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia and decided to make sparkling wine. He named the estate after his father, Recaredo Mata Figueres, a potter. A century later, his grandchildren are running one of the most thoughtfully farmed, longest-aged, and uncompromisingly dry sparkling wine estates in all of Spain.

Josep Mata Capellades established Recaredo in 1924, pioneering brut nature production in the Penedes at a time when sweetness was the commercial standard. His sons Josep and Antoni Mata Casanovas carried the estate through its expansion in the mid-twentieth century, developing the family cellar -- familiarly known as Can Credo -- and deepening the house commitment to Xarel-lo as its primary variety. The third generation assumed management in 2008 under Ton Mata Moliner, who accelerated the move toward biodynamic farming, received Demeter certification in 2010, and in 2019 co-founded Corpinnat, a new quality collective mark for sparkling wines produced in the heart of the Penedes. That decision meant leaving the Cava DO behind, a bold statement that Recaredo's wines belong to a specific place, not a generic category. In 2024 the estate celebrated its centenary.
