- Description
Torres del Priorat’s new entry-level wine. A powerful wine of good length and personality!
Deep, opaque cherry color. Impressive fruit intensity (blueberries, black berries) with spicy notes of black pepper and a minerality characteristic of the Priorat terroir. Intense, rich and complex on the palate, with velvety, fleshy tannins. Hints of dried figs and dates.
Grown on Priorat’s famous Llicorella floors, which offer a terroir that leads to highly concentrated wines with minerality and good natural acidity. Temperature fluctuations between day and night contribute to the optimal ripening of the grapes and intensify their aroma and intensity. The wine is aged in French barriques for 12 months (second passage).
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.
