✨ wine.spec_sheet
Familia Torres, established in 1870 in the Penedès region, is one of Spain's most historic and pioneering wine dynasties. The 'Viña Sol' name was originally created by Miguel Torres Carbó in the mid-20th century to capture the radiant, sun-drenched spirit of the Mediterranean coast. While historically renowned as a fresh white wine, this red expression celebrates Garnacha, the quintessential red grape of the Mediterranean. Sourced from vineyards across the Catalunya DO, the vines thrive in clay-limestone soils under warm, sunny skies tempered by cooling sea breezes. To preserve the grape's natural, vibrant fruit character, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with minimal oak contact, resulting in a juicy, approachable profile rich in red berries and subtle wild herbs.
