Turó d'en Mota is considered Spain's top sparkling wine and awarded with the highest points by the Wine Advocate.

This exceptional and unique sparkling wine is made from a single variety, Xarel.lo, from a single 0.97-hectare vineyard that was planted in 1940 on the property of the Recaredo family, on the north side of a hill named "Turó d'en Mota", in the higher ground of the Alt Pendés region, which is mainly composed of highly calcareous terrain.

Recaredo vineyards are cultivated organically; the wines have not been treated with herbicides or insecticides. The entire vinification is done exclusively in-house.

Production:

Hand-harvested grapes, long-aged wines, remain in the darkness of the caves for 156 months (a minimum of 13 years) in contact with their lees until they achieve a truly unique character.

Secondary fermentation and bottle ageing are done exclusively with natural cork stoppers. Artisanal disgorgement, done by hand without freezing the neck of the bottle. The disgorger releases the sediment manually at natural cellar temperature, with those skills that come only from experience.

It is a 100% dry cava with no sugar added. Limited edition of 2874 bottles. Sulphur: 32mg/l.

Tasting Notes:

Represents the elegance, complexity, and expression of long ageing. Deep and mineral, with excellent concentration, good acidity, and extremely lively.

Certified Organic by CCPAE, the Catalan Council for Organic Production, the public watchdog responsible to the Catalan Government's Ministry of Agriculture.

Recaredo is a founding member of the new Brand, CORPINNAT, which stands for a collective European Union Brand established with the aim of distinguishing great sparkling wines made in the heart of the Penedès from 100% organic manual harvest, 100% vinified on the premises of the winery, and long ageing.
