Description:

Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel·lo, traditional Catalan grape varieties, are the basis of Torres 5, aged using the traditional system of ‘soleras’.

Tasting Notes:

Topaz-coloured, with fine greenish and old gold tints. Deep and dense, it exhibits aromas of great richness with hints of walnut and dried fruit. It is intense, silky and concentrated on the palate. It displays warm spicy overtones of vanilla and cinnamon in the aftertaste.

Grape Varieties:

Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada

Description:

With the passing of time the elegant, round overtones of oak are fused, in close harmony with the strong spirituous aroma of venerable distillates that give character to Torres 10, Gran Reserva.

Tasting Notes:

Dark topaz-coloured, with fine old gold tints. Of strong aroma, it displays an intense bouquet - more spiritual than spirituous - with warm hints of spices (cinnamon, vanilla). On the palate it is round and rich in tannins, developing towards a lush and lingering aftertaste.

Grape Varieties:

Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada

Description:

A symbol of the time-honoured Torres tradition, this brandy is obtained by the distillation of select wines of the Parellada and Ugni Blanc varieties. Double distillation in copper pot stills, followed by the careful selection of the finest and most aromatic fractions, and ageing in Limousin oak barrels, are some of its secrets.

Tasting Notes:

Fine, dark amber-coloured. A deep, warm aroma, with traces of dried fruit and nuts. It exhibits elegant hints of spices and is round, intensely velvety and lush on the palate.

Grape Varieties:

Parellada and Ugni Blanc

Description:

THE CREATIVE SPIRIT
In the 18th century, the Torres family bought their first vineyard in the Penedès region. A century later, in 1870, the House of Torres, producer and exporter of wines was founded by Jaime Torres Vendrell. It was at this time that great works. The Casa Milá, known as "La Pedrera" is the most representative building of that intensively creative period of modernism in Barcelona. In homage to the figure of Gaudí and of the innovative spirit of those men whose philosophy of a "job well done" was passed from father to son, the House of Torres created this old noblesse brandy which carries the founder’s name. La Pedrera belongs to La Caixa de Catalunya and the bottle was designed by the architect Tanaka. The Jaime I brandy has been made with very old ‘soleras’ aged from selected distilled white wines. Some of the soleras started off as distilled Parellada wines destined for our Torres 10 brandy, and which have been kept aside for many years to create a valuable reserve stock.

These old reserves have been enriched with our best soleras, the oldest being 30 years old. Finally, to complement the aromatic intensity of these brandies with lighter fruity and floral notes, we have added a small amount of 1972 eau-de-vie of Folle Blanche lees, the rarest and noblest of grapes, used to make the highest quality pot still brandies

Tasting Notes:

Jaime I is deep, rich and dark amber in colour. It displays a concentrated complex bouquet, with marked overtones of coconut, dried fruits and spices, typical of lengthy ageing. Round and lush, it has the smoothness that characterises great brandies. Jaime I is complex, majestic, with a lingering finish that leaves a velvety imprint on the palate.

Grape Varieties:

Parellada and Folle Blanche

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.
