- Description
Limited edition vintage sparkling wine
First, the nose offers notes of citrus and fresh fruit. They give way to yeasty aromas reminiscent of toast, brioche, and unmistakable pastry notes. Fresh and lush on the palate, it shows lasting elegance. The wine’s freshness and acidity go well with all kinds of gastronomic delights.
At the Santa Maria d’Agulladolç winery, built just for this sparkling wine, the wine underwent three fermentations and a long maturation. Cool weather conditions in 2013 resulted in high acidity, which required full malolactic fermentation, resulting in a wine of exemplary balance. Another determining factor was the use of indigenous yeasts in winemaking, which makes the wine even more complex as a whole. Partial primary fermentation in barrel and a refermentation in bottle (using the traditional method) complete the process. The resulting wine then matures on the lees for 30 months and develops the fine notes of long aging that characterize the best and most prized cuvées.
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.
