Familia Torres founded its first winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, more than 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. The family’s connection to Priorat dates back to the early 20th century, when the family first sold wines from this legendary region, but its commitment deepened in 1996 with the purchase of 75 hectares in Porrera and El Lloar. In 2008, Familia Torres built a winery in El Lloar, in the heart of Priorat, designed by architect Miquel Espinet with modernity and functionality in mind. Today, the family’s land holdings have expanded within the region, with a focus on old vines and extraordinary enclaves. Secret del Priorat reflects the typicity and diversity of this incredible region, a land of small miracles that happen every day, like the flowers on a lone almond tree in the middle of the vineyard. The magical landscape of Priorat brings us this pleasant, delicate wine in a tribute to the local landscape, with its steep slopes and llicorella slate soils, and its valiant winegrowing, where nature prevails above all else. The only Familia Torres Priorat wine which blends together five varietals grown throughout the region including Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah, Cabernet sauvignon and Merlot.

"The slight dark-earth funk is intriguing with red berries and a touch of mushroom and oyster-sauce savoriness. Medium body with juicy fruit, round tannins and a linear, medium-long finish.” - 91 Points, James Suckling
“This deep ruby-colored wine has aromas of cassis, cocoa powder and lavender. There is a sense of brightness on the palate among velvety tannins and pomegranate, Mission fig, milk chocolate, licorice and orange-zest flavors.” - 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
