✨ Technical Specifications
Sons de Prades is an elegant tribute to the landscape of Conca de Barberà in Catalunya, where the cool breezes of the nearby Prades Mountains temper the Mediterranean sun. Crafted entirely from Chardonnay, this wine is grown in clay-limestone soils near the historic Milmanda Castle, a site steeped in medieval history. The name 'Sons de Prades' (Sounds of Prades) evokes the whispering wind through the mountain valleys that preserves the grape's vibrant acidity. To create its complex profile, the wine undergoes partial barrel fermentation in French oak followed by aging on its fine lees, seamlessly blending rich notes of ripe peach, citrus, and toasted brioche with a refined mineral backbone.
🍾 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.
