What are The Single Vineyards?
Some vineyards contain conditions that include soils and extraordinary
micro-climatic conditions that favour particularly the cultivation
of very specific types of vine.
The grapes grown in these vineyards develop better quality
and reach greater potential, giving rise to wines that exhibit exceptional
personality and style.
Throughout the centuries every wine growing region has pinpointed specific locations that have been given names such as: "Crus" in Bordeaux and Champagne, "Domaines" in Burgundy, "Vigneti" in Italy and "Finques" in Catalonia. |

The Single Vineyards: the
best inheritance
Bodegas Torres has sought out among its lands all those that
give its wines great personality and elegance. We have found:
· Soils and microclimates that imprint their character of
certain grape varieties.
· Cultivation techniques that respect nature and do not harm
the vine.
· Grapes that produce inimitable wines that reveal
their origin as well as the Torres family tradition.
At the moment we own 111 hectares of Single Vineyards. We have
located very specific soils where we have planted selected vines that
produce limited yields so as to increase quality in our most prestigious
wines. |
