✨ Technical Specifications
The Mas Rabell Rosado by Familia Torres is deeply tied to the history of the Penedes region and the medieval Mas Rabell farmhouse, a beautiful 14th-century estate where the Torres family hosts guests and celebrates Catalan culinary traditions. Crafted primarily from traditional Mediterranean grape varieties like Garnacha and Carinena grown in the Catalunya DO, this rose captures the vibrant spirit of the region. The winemaking process focuses on preserving freshness, utilizing a brief skin contact period to extract its signature bright cherry-pink hue, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The resulting wine is a celebration of pure red fruit aromas, such as wild strawberry and pomegranate, balanced by a refreshing, clean acidity that reflects the sun-drenched coastal terroir of northeastern Spain.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by brothers Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell, Familia Torres stands as one of Spain's most historically influential and forward-thinking wine dynasties. Spanning prime estates across Catalonia (Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre) as well as Rías Baixas and Ribera del Duero, the house negotiates a mosaic of terroirs—from maritime granitic soils in Galicia to high-elevation calcareous clay and slate in northeastern Spain. Viticulturally celebrated for pioneering the Torres & Earth climate program, co-founding International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), and advancing regenerative farming, the estate also champions the revival of pre-phylloxera ancestral varieties like Forcada. Vinification balances precise temperature control, native yeasts, and specialized aging vessels ranging from granite vats to traditional oak casks. Benchmarks such as Pazo Torre Penelas Blanco Granito, Sons de Prades, Forcada, and Esplendor Vardon Kennett reflect an unwavering commitment to site specificity, structural clarity, and sustainable viticultural excellence.
