Gran Coronas represents a monumental turning point in innovation for the family. Miguel A. Torres went against regional norms, planting Cabernet Sauvignon in Peneds 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 familys finest wines is created.
Dark cherry red color with garnet highlights. Intensely fruity (blueberries, cassis) with delicate black pepper and balsamic notes. A balanced and nicely structured palate with ripe tannins well rounded by aging in excellent oak.
Familia Torres founded its first winery in Villafranca del Peneds 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 Torres family focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historical estates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties.
