Familia Torres
Milmanda, DO Conca de Barberà
The Milmanda Estate is home to a castle that was once part of a route of medieval castles that provided shelter to Christians during the period of the Reconquista. The 12th century brought peace to the region and with it, the return of grape growing and winemaking. In the vineyards surrounding the castle, the Torres family now grow Chardonnay to produce this exclusive wine.
The Milmanda vineyards have deep, silt-rich, calcareous clay soils that are moderately well draining and have a very high water holding capacity. This soil encourages balanced vegetative growth in Chardonnay and produces wines that are very varietally expressive and well suited to barrel aging. The soil is composed of reddish marl formations dating back to the Oligocene period.

"A sleek, layered, medium-bodied white, with well-cut acidity defining flavors of golden apple, pear, Meyer lemon peel and peach skin, plus a hint of chopped hazelnut. Well-spiced and minerally on the lingering finish."
— Alison Napjus, 2024
