Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Turó d'en Mota is finally set for release. I tasted a bottle disgorged in November 2026, 12 years and six months after it was put in bottle to referment. I had already previewed the wine a couple of years ago on the occasion of a vertical tasting of all the vintages. The winter of 2012 was dry, but it rained during spring. The summer was dry, but some rain in August delayed ripeness, and it was a very low-yielding year; they picked 2,577 kilos of grapes the 21st of August, which is a minuscule yield of 13 hectoliters per hectare. After the recent disgorgement, the wine is a little closed and it took some time to unfurl the textbook nose with balsamic notes, hints of camphor and fennel, showing balance and complexity. Perhaps it's not the most complex of all vintages produced, as it was a slightly riper year. It comes in at 11.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.14 and 5.8 grams of acidity, and is approachable. 1,561 individually numbered bottles were produced and disgorged in November 2026. Only a small percentage were saved for the Enoteca to be be released much later.

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. With regard to the viticulture techniques, the application of chemicals is kept to a minimum, focusing more on the natural.
Recaredo's Turó d'en Mota wine is a sparkling wine that not only denotes the simplicity and elegance of an occasion, but also the feel of a wine with an artisanal flavour.
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.
Taste
With the wine Turó d'en Mota de Recaredo you will taste the perfect balance between elegance and intensity. Its fine and delicate bubbles, together with the citric tones and the hint of nuts, are perfectly integrated to denote the perfection of a sparkling wine.
