Winemaker's comments: Made by the Torres family and coming exclusively from our vineyards located in the municipalities of Porrera and Lloar, Salmos is a Priorat wine that manages to achieve an unparalleled balance between power and elegance.

Serving suggestions: Dishes of game and red meats (16-18ºC).

History: This Wine is a homage to the monks of the courageous carthusian order, who arrived in 'Priorat', in 1095, where they cultivated vines. In 1835 a violent crowd destroyed the work of a lifetime and sacked the monastery, events which later culminated in the auctioning of church lands known as the "Desamortización de Mendizábal". In 1996 the TorreS Family began work on the planting of vineyards on the slopes strewn with the hard, black slate-like "Licorella" stone.

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.
