Miguel Torres: from bulk wines to Spain's leading label
By Paul Franson

One of the little-told stories of wine is the growth of brands. A child of the New World with its limited traditions, branding - like so many American concepts - has spread to the Old World. With it has come the rise of new wine families that challenge old traditions. See the full story here...

Beyond Catalonia: Torres Begins New Ventures Across Spain

Posted: Monday, March 22, 2004
By Jacob Gaffney

Winemaking may be old hat to the Torres family, which is on its fifth generation of vintners, but they are always open to new ideas. For the first time in the two-century history of the Torres brand, the family is going to produce Spanish wines from grapes grown outside of Catalonia. For the complete story go here...

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.
