✨ Technical Specifications
Mas de la Rosa Vinyes Velles represents the pinnacle of Familia Torres's viticultural pursuit in the rugged, mystical landscape of Priorat, Catalunya. The wine takes its name from a historic estate near the village of Porrera, where ancient, steep slopes of fractured llicorella slate form a natural amphitheater. Here, eighty-year-old bush vines of Cariñena and Garnacha struggle against the elements, producing minuscule yields of extraordinary concentration. This wine is a testament to heroic viticulture, capturing the essence of its sun-drenched, wind-swept terroir. Meticulously aged in French oak, it delivers a profound narrative of dark mountain fruits, wild lavender, and a deep, smoky mineral core that reflects the ancient slate soils.
