Familia Torres Priorat
Mas de La Rosa, DOQ Priorat
Originating from a Torres family-owned vineyard comprising 80-year-old Cariñena and Garnacha vines. Reaching almost 500 meters (1,640 feet) at its highest point, the vineyard is only accessible by a narrow, winding, unpaved road. The selection of the most prized fruit from this truly remarkable vineyard casts inspiration for this iconic and limited bottling
The 4.5 acre Mas de la Rosa vineyard is home to 80+ year old vines of Cariñena and Garnacha. Records show this area has been under vine for over 300 years. Reaching almost 500 meters (1,640 feet) at its highest point, the southeastern facing vineyard is only accessible by a narrow, winding, unpaved road. The conditions are so dry and rugged, impacting yields, therefore it takes nearly 5 vines to produce 1 bottle of this iconic wine.

Low yield farming welcomes opulence and fine silken tannins. Ripe summer plum, baked cherry and mulberry depth is integrated with generous and lingering notes of cocoa, vanillin and licorice.

“This wine has a bouquet of Chambord and milk chocolate. Blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate, Turkish delight and clove flavors are supported by a frame of rigid tannins. A jolt of acidity wipes the palate clean and lingers on the palate with notes of orange zest and rose petal.”
