For more than 2,000 years, winegrowing has existed around Castell de la Bleda, in the heart of Penedès. Remains from the Iberian, Roman, and medieval periods, as well as from just before the phylloxera plague, have all been found at this site. Since the early 1980s, Torres has been working to recover ancestral varieties to play a part in recovering Catalonia’s vineyard heritage and look for solutions to deal with climate change. Over time, we have seen that besides showing great winemaking potential, some of these varieties are extremely resistant to high temperatures and drought. This is the case of Moneu, an ancestral variety native to Penedès, which we have reintroduced by planting it in the Castell de la Bleda vineyard, and that now forms part of our Clos Ancestral blend.

Tasting Note: Seductive and full-bodied. Ripe cherries, a hint of roasted coffee and spice.

Familia Torres

Since 1870, Familia Torres has been at the vanguard of Spanish winemaking, marrying centuries-old tradition with cutting-edge research. Pioneered by Miguel A. Torres, Europe’s visionary who introduced temperature-controlled fermentation and non-native varieties to Spain, the estate today thrives under his son Miguel Torres Maczassek. Their relentless investment in viticultural and oenological research has rescued forgotten Catalan grapes and elevated iconic blends like Reserva Real, while pushing the envelope with super-premium cuvées across Spain and Chile.

True to its family roots, Torres remains fiercely independent and quality-driven. From the high-altitude Purgatori in Costers del Segre to the Chardonnay of Sons de Prades, every Torres wine bears the hallmark of innovation and respect for the environment. Their commitment to sustainability, from organic farming to climate-focused interviews, has cemented their reputation as one of the world’s most admired wine brands.
