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.
The wine has a beautiful dark cherry red colour. Intense and exciting on the nose, with fruit notes reminiscent of wild blackberries and ripe undertones (dates, dried figs) coming through. Light and silky on the palate, supple, with a backbone of very fine tannins.
Attractive nose, imbedded with copious red-berry and sweet strawberry notes, as well as hints of sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs. Nimble, medium-bodied palate with a juicy, concentrated core of red fruit. Silky, polished and succulent. Drink now.
