Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of Catalunya, Viña Esmeralda Rosado is a tribute to the Mediterranean, taking its name from the emerald hues of the nearby sea. Crafted by the legendary Familia Torres, a winemaking dynasty with roots dating back to the 17th century, this elegant rosé is a contemporary expression of Catalan viticulture. Primarily crafted from Garnacha, the grapes are sourced from vineyards influenced by cooling sea breezes, preserving their vibrant acidity. The winemaking process focuses on minimal skin contact and cool fermentation in stainless steel, resulting in a pale, luminous rose petal color. It weaves a sensory tale of fresh red berries, delicate rosewater, and citrus undertones, capturing the breezy, carefree essence of coastal Spain.

Founded in 1870 by Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia, Familia Torres is one of Spain's most historic and influential wine dynasties. Under the pioneering leadership of fourth-generation patriarch Miguel A. Torres, the family revolutionized Spanish winemaking by introducing stainless steel fermentation and international varieties, while also expanding globally to Chile in 1979 with Miguel Torres Chile. Today, the estate is celebrated for its commitment to regenerative viticulture, climate change mitigation, and the recovery of ancestral grape varieties. Their diverse portfolio spans iconic Catalan labels like Gran Coronas to acclaimed Chilean expressions like Manso Velasco and the Santa Digna range, showcasing a masterful blend of traditional heritage and modern innovation.
