✨ Technical Specifications
Familia Torres, a cornerstone of Catalan winemaking heritage since 1870, pioneered a new frontier in 2008 with the creation of Natureo, Spain's first de-alcoholized wine. Crafted entirely from Muscat of Alexandria—an ancient, highly aromatic grape variety with roots tracing back to antiquity—this innovative white wine captures the essence of the Mediterranean. Grown in the clay-limestone soils of Catalunya, the grapes undergo a traditional fermentation before a state-of-the-art spinning cone column system gently extracts the alcohol, preserving the delicate, vibrant aromas of white flowers, fresh peach, and citrus. This groundbreaking technique honors the family's legacy of innovation while respecting the natural expression of the fruit.
🍾 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.
