Fransola

Fransola Sauvignon Blanc glows in the glass a very fine straw yellow with greenish highlights.

The nose smells intensely of tropical fruits, elderflowers, lemons. Typical of a Sauvignon Blanc from warmer areas. Pleasant and creamy on the palate and quite full (due to barrel aging), balanced by fresh acidity. Here are some notes of cool climate, pleasant sensations, bitter and herbaceous. Multilayer with extremely long reverberation. A fine and noble meal companion with a good balance of freshness and fullness.

The unique location Fransola with its historic property is located in one of the highest areas of Penedès. Cold nights and mild days allow excellent climatic conditions for viticulture, particularly for Sauvignon Blanc. A small amount of Parellada gives the cuvée its fine character. The wine was further aged through 6 months of aging in French and American oak barrels, 50% of which were new.

Familia Torres founded its winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, 150 years ago, but its roots in Penedès’ winemaking traditions go back to the 16th century. Each generation has passed down the passion for wine culture from parents to children, a passion built on deep respect for the Earth and tradition, as well as faith in innovation. Today, the goal of the fifth generation is to produce wines from exceptional vineyards and historic estates, as well as to recover ancestral varieties as a way to adapt to climate change. Since 2008, Familia Torres has taken active measures to combat the climate emergency, implementing adaptation and mitigation measures to reduce its carbon emissions. Familia Torres has a historical connection with Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat and Costers del Segre, but now its presence extends to vineyards and wineries in Spain’s main wine regions-Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Rías Baixas-and in Chile and California. Familia Torre is a member of Primum Familiae Vini, an association representing 12 of the world’s oldest and most prestigious wine families, and is a founder of International Wineries for Climate Action, which promotes decarbonization of the wine industry.
