WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Turó d'en Mota Recaredo Mata Casanovas 2007 begins with a manual harvest of 100% Xarel·lo grapes. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, a process that creates its effervescence. It is then aged for an extended period, a minimum of 168 months, on its lees, with natural cork stoppers used for maturation. Disgorging, the removal of the yeast sediment, is performed by hand without freezing the bottle neck. The winery's commitment to organic and biodynamic farming is integral to their production methods.
