Miguel Torres

Miguel Torres

Founded in 1870 by Jaime Torres, Bodegas Torres is located in Pacs, about 4 km from Villafranca del Penedes. Torres is the family winery with the largest vineyards in Penedès and the largest winery in Spain. The family also runs the Miguel Torres Chile winery in the central Chilean valley, as well as the Marimar Estate, founded in 1986 in the United States (California). In Spain outside the Penedès, they own vineyards in DO Conca de Barberà, DO Toro, DO Jumilla, DO Ribera del Duero, DOQ Priorat and more recently in DOC Rioja - in the last three areas with new wineries or wineries under construction. Torres is also the largest producer of DO wines in Spain with its own label, exporting to more than 140 countries. Jaime Torres emigrated to Cuba in 1855, where he managed to amass wealth, and in 1870, returning home as a wealthy man, he began business with his brother, a vine grower. Together they founded the family company in Villafranca del Penedes in 1870. During the Spanish Civil War, the winery was bombed and left in ruins. Miguel Torres Carbo, the fourth generation of the family, rebuilt the winery in 1940 and started the business again. He stopped selling bulk wine and started bottling with his own labels. During the occupation of France, sales there were hampered and Miguel Torres traveled to the United States to promote his wines. During this period, the Sangre de Toro, Viña Sol and Coronas brands appeared for the first time. In 1966, work began on the planting of international varieties - Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, and later Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. That same year, Miguel A. Torres married Waltraud Makasek, a German artist who actively helped sell wines on the German market. The first Riesling produced by Torres was named after her. In 1975, Bodegas Torres began growing organic wine grapes. In 1991, after the death of Miguel Torres, the winery passed into the hands of his son Miguel A. Torres, the current president and managing director of the company. Under the Torres brand, they trade in wine and brandy under various labels. Some of them are Vinya Sol, Sangre de Toro, De Casta, Coronas, Atrium and Vinya Esmeralda, and among their most famous brands are Torres 5 and Torres 10.

Rioja

Rioja

Undoubtedly, this is the homeland of the oldest and most respected red wine in Spain, whose rival is only Jerez. The vineyards trace the flow of the Ebro River for about 100 kilometers between the towns of Haro and Alfaro. The area is named after the river that flows through it, the Rio Oja. It is divided into three separate areas; Rio Alta, the highest, where wines are considered elegant and with balanced acidity; Alavesa average (here the acidity is a little more pronounced) and Baja, the lowest, where the significantly warmer climate determines the more pronounced saturation and density in wines. Overall, the best wines come from Alta and Alavesa, although many are a combination of the two. The main grape here is Tempranillo, often blended with Garnacha and sometimes Carignane. All wines in Rioja in the top category must be aged in oak, and historically the American oak is preferred. Nowadays, however, many wineries use a combination of American and French oak. The ripening of American oak is what gives the more traditional Rioja red wines the distinctive notes of coconut, vanilla and sweet spice. The time that Rioja wine spends in a barrel dictates which of Rioja's official ageing categories will take its place on the label: Joven, Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva. Rioja Joven wines are intended for consumption within two years of harvest. They spend little or no time in oak - jóven is the Spanish word for "young". Crianza red wines are aged for at least one year in oak and one year in bottle and only on the market in the third year. Reserva red wines spend at least one year in oak and cannot be presented for a full three years after harvest. Gran Reserva undergo a total of five years of ageing with at least two years spent in oak barrels.

Tempranillo

Tempranillo

Almost every red wine in Spain from Rioja and Ribera del Duero has Tempranillo at its core, and in Portugal the variety is widely used in the Douro Valley – under the name Tinta Roriz – both for table wines and world-famous fortified wines (Port). The red wines based on Tempranillo are characterised by a wide range of aromas - from strawberries, blackcurrants and cherries to prunes, chocolate and tobacco depending on climate, vineyard age and oak ageing.
