Miranius is the entry-level still white from Celler Credo, the still wine arm of Recaredo, based in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in Alt Penedès. The 2018 is made primarily from Xarel-lo sourced from four distinct zones across the Penedès: Plana del Penedès, Muntanyes d'Ordal (vineyards at roughly 400 meters elevation), Vall del Bitlles, and Valls de l'Anoia. All fruit is farmed biodynamically and certified by both Demeter and CCPAE (organic). The wine comes in at 11% ABV, a direct result of harvesting for natural acidity rather than maximum sugar accumulation.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using only native yeasts. The wine rests on its lees for several months before bottling without filtration or fining. No sulfites are added. The result is a wine with real textural presence — slightly oily on the palate — alongside the bracing, citrus-driven acidity that Xarel-lo is known for.
Xarel-lo as a variety delivers a recognizable profile: lemon peel, stone fruit (apricot, pear), a saline mineral quality, and characteristic notes of bitter almond and aniseed. In still wine format without oak, those varietal markers come through clearly. At 11%, the wine is light on its feet but not thin — the lees contact adds body and a subtle creaminess that rounds out the acidity.
Celler Credo was the first producer in the Penedès DO to receive Demeter biodynamic certification, achieving it in 2010. Cover crops grow between vine rows to support soil biodiversity and drainage. The Miranius is the most accessible expression in the Celler Credo range, designed to show the Penedès landscape through Xarel-lo without winemaking intervention.
