Description

Turó d’en Mota is a wine that expresses the ancestry of the land where it was cultivated, defining its taste as chalky and combining it with the goodness that the proximity to the Mediterranean brings.
It is made from the processing of the xarel-lo grape and a minimum percentage of another type of this fruit, grown on a hill called Turó d’en Mota, which explains the origin of its name.

Elaboration

The elaboration of this wine begins with the cultivation of the fruit using traditional techniques, and using calcareous soils, which are characterised by the scarce presence of organic matter.
Once harvested, the grapes are subjected to a first fermentation process, where the intervention of labour and chemicals is limited, since the philosophy of Recaredo wines preserves the naturalness in its essence.
Afterwards, the wine is aged for 2 weeks in oak barrels and then aged for 10 years in the bottle, using a natural cork as a stopper. Disgorgement is carried out manually and at room temperature.
