2012 Vintage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tur\u00f3 d\u2019en Mota 2012 is the living memory of a year defined by scarcity and expressiveness. An austere vintage, with one of the lowest yields in our history up to that point, yet full of character and essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winter, dry and silent, gives way to the long-awaited spring rains, which inspire us to tend the vineyard with great care and return to horse-drawn ploughing to avoid soil compaction. The relentless summer softens with the rains of August, allowing for a slow, refined ripening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hand-harvest grapes of extraordinary balance and vibrant acidity \u2014 the origin of an elegant Corpinnat, born from both patience and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tur\u00f3 d\u2019en Mota is a terroir wine in the broadest sense \u2014 the expression of a very calcareous soil, a Mediterranean microclimate, the Xarel\u00b7lo grape variety, and a viticulture based more on observation than intervention.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long and meticulous aging of at least 150 months in contact with the lees brings out the subtlest and most complex nuances of the expression of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Vineyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planted in 1940 and covering an area of 0.97 hectares, the Tur\u00f3 d\u2019en Mota vineyard is bush-trained and owned by Recaredo. Only in exceptional vintages is an additional 0.55-hectare southeast-facing plot incorporated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


This is located in the northwestern corner of Sant Sadurn\u00ed d\u2019Anoia in the Corpinnat territory, on the north side of a hill named Tur\u00f3 d\u2019en Mota, from which it gets its name (tur\u00f3 means hill in Catalan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The soils have a loam-silt texture (a balance of sand, silt, and clay) and are highly calcareous in nature. These are deep, well-drained soils with moderate water retention capacity. They are very evolved soils due to the presence of a calcic horizon with significant accumulations of carbonates in the form of nodules\u2014stones formed from concentrated lime deposits. The soils contain 14% active limestone, making them extremely calcareous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Organic matter<\/strong> is at 1.5% (very low), and the soil pH <\/strong>is 8.5 (very alkaline).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
