Description

Torres Gran Vina Sol is a wine white from the Cataluyna made by one of the most famous, family-owned wine companies in the world.

Familia Torres Wines has been making wine in the ancient Catalán town of Vilafranca del Penedès, southwest of Barcelona, since the 17th Century. It is this tradition combined with innovation, dynamism and commitment to quality that has put Torres firmly on the world map. They remain one of the largest family-owned and run wine companies in the world (there is also Miguel Torres Chile and Marimar Torres in California) and, under the stewardship of fourth-generation Miguel Torres they are committed to sustainable viticulture and green practices. Today Torres not only have vineyards in their home region of Penedes, but all over Spain in regions such as Priorat, Rioja and Rueda. In 2006 Torres was awarded European Winery of the Year in Wine Enthusiast’s Annual Wine Star Awards. The Torres family is also one of the founding members of Primum Familiae Vini.

Torres Gran Vina Sol is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Gran Vina Sol was one of the first wines in Spain to pioneer the use of barrel-fermentation for Chardonnay wines. Today, however, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and spends 6 months resting on its lees. The result is a radiant, Mediterranean wine.

Don’t forget it’s little brother, the Torres Vina Sol.

Tasting Notes

Clean brilliant gold color. Fine tropical fruit aromas (passion fruit) with elegant herbaceous notes (fennel)
and a creamy nuance. The palate is flavourful and intense, with an exquisite, full, fruit finish

Food Pairing

Excellent with fish dishes such as salmon, as well as paellas, turkey and grilled chicken. It also pairs very well with pasta in a creamy sauce or with vegetables or salads containing peach mango or nuts. Serve at 12°C.
