Founded in 1870, Familia Torres is widely regarded as one of the worlds most innovative wineries. They are also one of Spains leading producers of premium quality wines a position which was recognised when they were presented with The Worlds Most Admired Wine Brand award.

Miguel A. Torres is widely regarded as one of Europes leading wine visionaries. After studying oenology and viticulture in Dijon and Montpellier he was responsible for pioneering a number of significant technological advances in the field of winemaking in both Spain and Chile. Today the company is run by his son, Miguel Torres Maczassek, the General Manager of Bodegas Torres, who succeeded his father in 2012.

Famila Torres reputation for combining innovation, dynamism and a commitment to quality has put them, and Catalonia, firmly on the world map. Today they remain a wholly independent and family-owned company, which is now run by 5th generation of the family.

As part of the 4th generation, Miguel A. Torres has been described as one of Spains most innovative and influential winemakers. As well as being one of the first exponents of stainless-steel tanks and temperature controlled fermentation, he also pioneered the planting of non-Spanish grape varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, in his native Spain. During the past 30 years Familia Torres have also focused on re-discovering ancient Catalan grape varieties that existed before Phyloxera. Today close to 50 of these forgotten varieties have been rescued and about six of them show great enological potential. Indeed, two of them Garro and Querol – are already used in the top single vineyard wine Grans Muralles.

From the time the company was founded, Torres have always been committed to producing premium quality wines whilst retaining the utmost respect for the environment with a strong emphasis on the use of biological methods and the elimination of products which harm the environment.

The environmental record of Familia Torres is widely recognised and Miguel A. Torres has undertaken numerous interviews with the media, putting climate change higher up the international agenda.

Tasting Notes

This wine is a lovely cherry colour with aromas of pomegranate and redcurrant. Full, clean and balanced on the palate, this has a smooth texture and delicate freshness.

This would be perfect chilled down and paired with pasta.
