FAMILIA TORRES PENEDES CLOS ANCESTRAL TINTO 2023

Familia Torres farms organically around Castell de la Bleda in Penedès, where 2,000 years of viticulture is archaeologically documented. This blend features rescued indigenous Moneu with Tempranillo and Garnacha from calcareous clay soils high in calcium carbonate, with 60% fermented in second-fill barrels for 10 months and Moneu aged in amphorae. At 14.5% ABV, the wine shows raspberry jam, toast, baking spice, fine-grained tannins, and robust structure from the limestone-rich terroir that provides natural acidity and mineral backbone characteristic of this maritime-influenced Mediterranean region.
