Torres - Spain

The Torres family has been cultivating their own vineyards for the last 300 years. Jaime Torres the patriarch, established the family bodega in Vilafranca del Penedes more than 130 years ago.However, it wasn't until the 1970's when Torres' then most prestigious red wine, Mas La Plana, beat Chateau Latour at the Paris Wine Olympiad that Torres flew onto the world wine scene.Since then, it has become well known for its diversity. Sangre de Toro ("bulls blood") is one of the best value for money easy drinking reds in Spain. Pair that with the exclusive, top end Mas La Plana (made from select Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from a single estate vineyard), and you can really see the range.
