Organic. Arguably the finest sparking wine that has been made from outside Champagne, the 2001 Turó d'en Mota is the second release from Recaredo’s long-aged Enoteca programme started in 1999. After almost 22 years under cork, just 150 bottles were manually disgorged in May 2024 with no dosage. Not only is it “really breathtaking”, to quote Luis Gutiérrez, in terms of purity, energy and complexity, but it also leaves most Grande Marque for dust. It's a Xarel·lo from another planet!
Turó d’en Mota cuvée takes its name from unique site within the Serral del Vell vineyard. It’s made from just under one hectare of goblet-trained Xarel·lo vines, planted in 1940 at almost 300 metres on the north side of the hill from which it takes its name. The soils, farmed biodynamically since 2010, contains calcareous lumps and quite a bit of limestone from the Serra del Mar and the Serra Catalana, which were deposited in the area due to erosion. From these lean, rocky soils and these mature vines, Recaredo is searching for the truest expression of the site’s most mineral soils (containing 33% active limestone).
