Gran Viña Sol 2024 is the latest vintage of a pioneering single-varietal white wine in the D.O. Penedès, born from the innovative spirit of Bodegas Torres. Over four decades ago, the centenary Catalan winery committed to introducing noble foreign varieties, such as Chardonnay, into its vineyards to craft this fantastic wine which, since the 2022 harvest, also holds organic certification.
Gran Viña Sol 2024 is one of the great Chardonnay wines from Penedès. This French grape variety, among the most appreciated in the world, showcases in this single varietal all its intensity and depth, demonstrating its excellent suitability for fermentation and aging, which particularly distinguishes it among white varieties.
In the case of this Gran Viña Sol 2024 brought to you by the Club, Bodegas Torres enriched its production by fermenting and aging the wine for 3 months on its lees. The result is a magnificent organic white wine that retains all its fruity freshness while adding greater complexity of aromas and flavors. Ideal to pair with pasta in creamy sauce, fatty fish like salmon, and white meats (grilled turkey or chicken).

Creators' opinion
Clean and bright golden color. Aroma of tropical fruits (mango and passion fruit), with certain vegetal notes of fennel and spicy hints. On the palate, it is fresh, fruity with a long and full finish.
Since their beginnings as winemakers in 1870, the Familia Torres has combined tradition and innovation in the production of prestigious wines and brandies, always working with the utmost respect for the environment. Linked to the land for more than three centuries – with the first references as winegrowers dating back to 1559 – they have historically had wineries and vineyards in Penedès, where they originate, as well as in Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre. Each generation has contributed to the development of the business and passed on to the next the passion for wine culture, the importance of caring for the land, and the pursuit of excellence.
The fourth generation, led by Miguel A. Torres, introduced the cultivation of cabernet sauvignon in Spain, creating 'Mas la Plana' in 1970, while the fifth generation today focuses on producing wines from unique vineyards and historic estates, as well as recovering ancestral Catalan grape varieties. This project allows for the recovery of viticultural heritage and could become a future solution to climate change due to the ability of these varieties to withstand high temperatures and drought. Additionally, Familia Torres contributes to minimizing the consequences by reducing their CO2 emissions, from the vineyard to the consumer, through the use of renewable energy, sustainable vehicles, energy efficiency measures, reducing bottle weight, regenerative viticulture, reforestation, and more. Their goal is to become a zero net emissions winery by 2040.
Familia Torres is also present with its own vineyards and wineries in Spain's main wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Rías Baixas – as well as in Chile and California. They are members of Primum Familiae Vini, an association that brings together twelve of Europe's most prestigious centenary wine-producing families. Familia Torres owns more than 1,100 hectares of vineyards in Spain, 1,000 of which are located in Catalunya and certified as organic by the CCPAE. Most of the vineyards are cultivated using regenerative viticulture techniques.
