Familia Torres Winery is celebrating a milestone anniversary, marking 150 years since its establishment in 1870. However, the family's roots in winemaking date back even further, with the first mention of the Torres wine family in 1557. The winery was founded by Miguel Torres Vendrell, and since then, the family has passed down the winery and the name Miguel through generations. Despite facing setbacks, including the bombing of the winery during the Spanish civil war, the family has continued to thrive, with Miguel Torres i Carbó rebuilding and expanding the business. Under the leadership of Miguel A. Torres and later Miguel Torres Maczassek, the winery has become a leader in environmental advocacy, social responsibility, and innovation, earning recognition as Drinks International's "World's Most Admired Wine Brand". Today, Familia Torres is a respected and renowned winery, both in Spain and around the world.

Gran Coronas represents a monumental turning point in innovation for the family. Miguel A. Torres went against regional norms, planting Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès in the 1960s, when most plantings were to local white varieties. The wines were well regarded and Familia Torres became known for producing Cabernet Sauvignon that could rival the greatest of Bordeaux. By blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, followed by prolonged oak aging, one of the family’s finest wines is created.
