Turó d’en Mota is a terroir wine in the broadest sense; in other words, the expression of an area of very calcareous land with a Mediterranean microclimate, Xarel·lo grapes and a viticulture of observation rather than intervention.
The Turó d’en Mota vineyard, which was planted in 1940 and trained traditionally, is located on the north side of a hill named Turó d’en Mota, from which it gets its name (turó means hill in Catalan).
A long and careful ageing of at least 12 years in contact with the lees obtains the most subtle and complex nuances of the expression of time.
Recaredo Turó d’en Mota should be stored at around 15 ºC. We recommend serving it in a glass of white wine at 10 ºC and opening the bottle a few minutes before serving.
