Raspberry color with subtle orangey highlights. Exciting floral (confected rose) and fruit (pomegranate, raspberry) aromas culminating in a sensual, flavorful and elegantly persistent palate.
This sweet wine is made from one of the Mediterranean’s most classical stocks. The Greeks called it Anathelicon Moschaton and the Romans Apianae, because it attracts the bees that, from the Muscat flowers, make the delicious nectar of their honey.
“Pazo das Bruxas” [PAH-so das BROO-shahss] is produced in DO Rías Baixas, the undisputed birthplace of Albariño, predominately with grapes from the historic coastline of Salnés, blended with grapes from O Rosal. This classic expression of Albariño is characteristic of the Atlantic influenced maritime climate of Rías Baixas. Free draining sandy soil atop rocky granite soil beds prevents water retention. The combination of fruit from temperate O’Rosal vineyards with slower to ripen parcels from Salnés provides optimal balance and high toned acidity. This 100% Albariño is brilliant yellow with a soft green edge. Intensely aromatic with white floral, citrus, white peach notes and lemon curd.
100% Verdejo | 3 hours skin contact; stainless steel fermentation and aging | Alcohol 13% |
Gran Coronas represents a monumental turning point in innovation for Familia Torres. Miguel A. Torres went against regional norms, planting Cabernet Sauvignon in Penedès in the 1960s, when most plantings were to local white varieties. Miguel A.’s recognition for producing quality Cabernet Sauvignon brought Gran Coronas to become a benchmark wine for the region. By blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, followed by prolonged oak aging, one of the family’s finest wines is created.
