Great News for Mas La Plana

Wine style

The wine has evolved over the decades, adapting itself to consumers' palates. Seeking the most authentic expression of Mediterranean wine, Sangre de Toro continued to be made using Garnacha and Cariñena grapes, but perfected methods of winemaking and ageing allowed emphasis to be given to maximum expression of the fruit and oak ageing.

Miguel Torres Today

Many steps have been taken throughout our history to consolidate one name: Torres...

Torres is today associated with top quality wine in over 120 countries. The work that has allowed this to be possible is centred in its three international sites: Catalonia, Chile and California. Further to this, Torres wishes to be present in new and exciting markets, such as China.

Catalonia

The Torres family surname features in Catalan history since the 17th century. Today our family owned vineyards amount to 1,300 hectares, among the best terroir in the region.

The use of modern viticultural techniques, the preservation of traditional methods and a desire not to use chemical products have contributed to the success of Torres.

Our Mission Statement

  • To maintain our tradition as a self-financing and independent family firm of international scope.

  • To enable every customer to become a friend.

  • To be world leaders in the first-rate wine and brandy sectors, with top quality and well differentiated products.

  • To be leaders in the design of and in the communications involved in the dissemination of wine culture.

  • To care for the well-being of our staff and for the progress of society as a whole.

  • To contribute actively towards the conservation of our natural environment.

The Wines...

The Red Wines of Miguel Torres...

Our red wines represent our house seal. These bottles symbolise centuries of history, our passion for what we do and the care we lavish on our customers.

These wines cover an ample range, made with traditional varieties drawn from Catalan viticulture, grapes well adapted to our soils and climate. We also make fine wines with noble and international grape varieties that have been able to adapt with equal success to our lands. It is through this means that we are able to satisfy every palate.

The White Wines of Miguel Torres...

We are especially proud of our white wines. The type of winemaking involved in producing this style of wines, pure, clean and seductive, just as we understand them today, proved very difficult for our forefathers to achieve. Today, however, we know the secret and have the means to maintain the properties of the fruit intact, transforming them into wines that are unique, fresh and elegant, with the aid of the climate, the soils, the well-tended vines and our experience.

Miguel Torres 2004 Catalunya Vina Esmeralda

Fragrant peach and grapefruit flavors come up in this blend of moscatel and gewurztraminer, its texture soft and light, marked by a warm sweetness. Chill it well for grilled halibut.

Miguel Torres 2000 Penedes Gran Coronas Reserva

Tempranillo contributes strawberry and rose aromas while cabernet sauvignon adds black pepper and cassis flavors to this blend, its firm tannins needing time or a steak to mellow.


2004 Torres
De Casta
Rosé Blend, Catalunya



Full and snappy, with a touch of natural smoke and plenty of berry defining the bouquet. Strawberry, apple skin and citrus flavors make for a spunky, clean palate, and the overall zest is admirable.

2003 Torres
Celeste
Ribera del Duero




Torres’ first-ever Spanish wine from outside Catalonia was made from purchased fruit at a newly acquired winery outside of Valladolid. The wine shows good color and nice plum and cherry character. It’s a bit tart and fresh for a 2003 (hot year), yet it carries some more rugged beef and smoke notes.
