Torres
The Torres family has been related to wine since the 17th century when their ancestors first planted vines in the Penedès a winegrowing region dating to the days of the Phoenicians. Founded in 1870 Bodegas Torres has preserved family ownership of the company while diligently combining tradition and innovation. For five generations Torres has been a leader in the Spanish wine industry with properties in the top regions including Catalunya Penedès Priorat Conca de Barberà Ribera del Duero Rioja Rueda Campo de Borja Rias Biaxas Costers del Segre Jumilla and Toro. The family’s dedication to wine quality and producing wines that reflect their origins has been recognized by leading media outlets throughout the world. From traditional wines such as Sangre de Toro celebrating its 60th vintage to the legendary single vineyard wine Mas La Plana Torres’ broad diversity of vineyards allows selection of the best sites for each grape variety.
Description
Full, even, purple-hued, dark ruby-red colour. Torres Priorat Salmos' nose is softly full and voluminous with extraordinary fruit expression (cassis, wild blackberry jam) and exquisite dried fruit notes (figs), entwined with complexing nuances of earth and nutty oak. Medium-full bodied, the palate is broad, silky and mouth-filling with very fine ripe tannins that provide presence and fullness and soft acidity that contributes roundness and richness. Savoury berry, mulberry and plum fruit feature prominently with an underlying power which leads to a long, soft, nuanced finish.
Food Pairing
Torres Priorat Salmos pair well with slow-cooked game meats. Alternative dishes could include endive and ham in Mornay (white) sauce, chicken a la king, tagliatelle with ham.
