2001
Turó d’en Mota
Historical harvest that outlines a long aging wine of intense and vibrant character. An extremely water-borne July contrasts with the low rainfall collected throughout the year. A fact that, accompanied by a very advanced harvest, makes the 2001 vintage one of the most atypical and unique crops in the history of Turó d’en Mota.
