Recaredo Turo d'en Mota Cava 2006 (750ml)
Robert Parker: 95 Points
The still young and somewhat reticent 2006 Turó d'en Mota is from an average year—not too warm, not too cold, and with moderate rain—and it matured for a very long time in the bottle with the lees. The nose is an excellent combination of baked apples, Mirabelle plums, pine needles, smoke and stones. It has perfect density, structure and intense minerality, with a drying, chalky sensation on the palate.

Corpinnat. 100% Xarello. From the vineyard Turó d’en Mota planted in 1940. Organic and biodynamic farming. Manual harvesting. Secondary fermentation and ageing in bottles with cork stoppers. Manual riddling and manual disgorging without freezing (à la volée). More than eight years of ageing. Numbered 4,864 bottles.
A sparkling wine with memories of pâtisserie and a lot of autolysis. The palate is dry and deep, with a long profile and an attractive dry-leaf taste in the background. Hints of Mediterranean grass and green fennel. Its evolution is surprising when you discover it is a 2006 vintage. It has phenomenally endured the passage of time and yet still has potential. Aniseed, delicate and finely perfumed. Maximum integration of the mousse. It offers a subtle hedonic expression.
