- Great body, breadth, and balance. Textural and long with fine silky tannins and tidily-integrated acidity. This exceptional wine burst onto the international scene in 1979, with its first vintage from 1970, by beating the world’s greatest Cabernets in the Paris Gault & Millau Wine Olympics. This signalled a shift in how to make premium wines from estate-grown grapes. Owing to the excellent adaptation and balance of the old Cabernet vines, Mas La Plana has evolved to reach its maximum expression.
- International recognition for Familia Torres came in 1979 with the 1970 vintage of a wine called Gran Coronas Black Label. Today this wine is better known as Mas La Plana. This first vintage of Torres’s Cabernet-based wine won the famous Gault-Millau Paris Wine Olympiad tasting in 1979, at which Torres triumphed over some of the best French Chateau wines.
More recently, Bodegas Torres once again received the “World’s Most Admired Wine Brand’’ award in Drinks International’s annual list of the world’s leading wine brands. Having secured this position two times, Familia Torres is the only Spanish and European winery to lead the chart. It has consistently come first or second in the world ranking.
Since the company was founded, Torres has always been committed to “producing premium quality wines whilst retaining the utmost respect for the environment”, with a strong emphasis on the use of biological methods and the elimination of products which harm the environment. The environmental record of Familia Torres is widely recognised, and Miguel A. Torres has conducted numerous interviews with the media, putting climate change higher on the international agenda.

| Winery | Thanks to the investment made in research and development in viticulture and winemaking by the 4th and 5th generation members of the family, Familia Torres has gained an enviable reputation for their subtle blending of tradition with innovation. Today the winery produces a comprehensive range of styles, all of which bear the Torres hallmark of quality. The range includes very accessible styles such as Vina Sol, which has held the position of the UK’s number one branded Spanish white wine for many years, to complex, iconic wines such as Reserva Real, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Familia Torres is also known for its Super Premium and Reserva wines, such as Fransola, Altos Ibericos, Celeste, and Milmanda, all of which have become benchmarks in their own right. Other wines within the range demonstrate Torres’ determination to be at the forefront of innovation and winemaking development. One such one is Purgatori from the Costers del Segre appellation. Made from a limited production of Garnacha, Carinena, and Syrah grapes from the estate in L’Aranyo, this wine derives its unique character from the continental climate and extremely arid conditions of the region. Another example is Sons de Prades, a new Chardonnay varietal from the famous Milmanda vineyards (DO Conca de Barbera), produced in relatively small quantities for the independent retail and restaurant sectors, where it has developed a strong following. |
