Familia Torres founded its first winery in Villafranca del Penedès in 1870, over 150 years ago, but its roots in the winegrowing traditions of Spain date back to the 16th century. Five generations have carried the family business forward, passing on their passion for wine culture from parents to children — a passion steeped in respect for land and tradition, and a firm belief in innovation. Today the family focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historicalestates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties. Gran Coronas represents a monumental turning point in innovation for the family. Miguel A. Torres went against regional norms, planting Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès in the 1960s, when most plantings were to local white varieties. The wines were well regarded and Familia Torres became known for producing Cabernet Sauvignon that could rival the greatest of Bordeaux. By blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, followed by prolonged oak aging, one of the family’s finest wines is created. In stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures.
Aged in 30% new French oak barrels for 12 months.
