The 2011 Recaredo Corpinnat Turó d'en Mota Brut Nature is a profound single-vineyard sparkling wine from one of Spain’s greatest traditional-method producers. Crafted biodynamically from old-vine Xarel·lo planted in the famed Turó d'en Mota vineyard in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the wine spends well over a decade on lees before disgorgement and is bottled with no dosage, allowing the vineyard’s mineral precision and extraordinary ageing character to shine with remarkable clarity. The nose reveals preserved lemon, dried pear and baked apple layered alongside toasted almond, brioche, chamomile and smoky chalk minerality, delivering exceptional complexity and refinement.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with incredibly fine mousse, vibrant acidity and immense textural depth. Layers of citrus peel, roasted nuts and savoury lees complexity are balanced by saline tension and remarkable freshness, finishing bone dry, intensely mineral and extraordinarily persistent with world-class structure and detail.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2011 Recaredo Corpinnat Turó d'en Mota Brut Nature is a truly exceptional grower sparkling wine — profound, mineral and breathtakingly refined with extraordinary complexity and longevity. Perfect with lobster, scallops, jamón ibérico, roasted seafood or finely prepared Mediterranean dishes. Drinking beautifully now and will continue evolving gracefully through 2045+.
