✨ Technical Specifications
Familia Torres's prestigious venture into the rugged, mystical landscape of Priorat pays homage to the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei, who first brought viticulture to this mountainous corner of Catalonia in the 12th century. Crafted from classic Priorat varieties, primarily Cariñena and Garnacha, this wine is born from steep, terraced vineyards dominated by the region's famous 'licorella' soil—a dark, shimmering slate that forces the vine roots to plunge deep into the earth in search of water. The extreme climate and low-yielding old vines produce a red of immense concentration and mineral complexity. Aged in French oak, the wine beautifully marries intense black fruit, wild mountain herbs, cocoa, and slate-like minerality with a powerful yet velvety structure.
🍾 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.
