Winemaker Notes
All the exuberant aroma traditionally found in an intense, ripe red wine, with a sensual background of fine spices in good balance with perfumed notes reminiscent of blackberries. Full, long finish on the palate.
Ideal with game dishes, ragout and spicy meat dishes.

Wine Enthusiast
Mint, herbs, tree bark and plum aromas settle fairly well. The mouthfeel is solid and full, setting the stage for dark berry, vanilla and rooty flavors. Transitions to mocha and coffee on the finish. A blend of Garnacha, Carignan and Syrah.

Familia Torres founded its first winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, 150 years ago, but its roots in the winegrowing traditions of Spain date back to the 16th century.
Five generations have carried the family business forward, passing on their passion for wine culture from parents to children – a passion steeped in respect for land and tradition, and a firm belief in innovation.
Today the family focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historical estates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties. Familia Torres has a historical connection to Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre, but now its presence extends to vineyards and wineries in preeminent Spanish wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Rías Baixas.
