Familia Torres Priorat Story
Familia Torres founded its first winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, more than 150 years ago, but its roots in Spanish winegrowing date back to the 16th century. Since then, five generations have carried the family business forward. The family’s connection to Priorat dates back to the early 20th century, when it first sold wines from this region, but its commitment deepened in 1996 with the purchase of 75 hectares in Porrera and El Lloar. In 2008, Familia Torres built a winery in El Lloar, in the heart of Priorat. Today, the family’s land holdings have expanded within the region, with a focus on old vines and high elevation vineyards.
