✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted under the regional Catalunya DO framework, Coronas is traditionally anchored by Tempranillo (known locally as Ull de Llebre) complemented by a minor component of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit is sourced from selected Mediterranean clay-limestone vineyards across central Catalunya. Following temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and skin maceration, the wine matures for approximately nine to twelve months in French and American oak barriques (a mix of new and second-fill) before bottle conditioning, yielding supple tannins and toasted spice nuances.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by brothers Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell in Vilafranca del Penedès, Familia Torres stands as one of Spain's most iconic and forward-thinking wine dynasties. Spanning five generations of familial stewardship, the estate oversees historic holdings across Catalunya—from the limestone and alluvial parcels of Penedès to the steep slate llicorella terraces of Priorat and the calcareous clay soils of Conca de Barberà. Celebrated for pioneering modern temperature-controlled fermentations and quality viticulture in Spain, the family has championed climate mitigation through their ambitious Torres & Earth program and large-scale transitions to regenerative and organic farming. In addition to rescuing long-forgotten ancestral Catalan grape varieties, Torres's winemaking deftly marries Mediterranean character with technical precision. While classical cuvées like Coronas and Sangre de Toro laid their international foundation, single-vineyard benchmarks like Mas La Plana Cabernet Sauvignon, Grans Muralles, and Mas de la Rosa represent the pinnacle of their terroir-focused craftsmanship.
