Milmanda 2022 is made with grapes from the Milmanda estate in Conca de Barberà, at the foot of a medieval castle, where the Torres family has been growing the French Chardonnay grape since 1980, perfectly acclimatised. An estate-grown white wine fermented in French-oak barrels, with partial malolactic fermentation (30%). It is aged in barrels of 300 litres, 50% of which are new oak, and finally undergoes ageing on its lees in tanks.
Torres is probably the best-known Spanish winery in the world. A historic name in the Penedès, it has been in the hands of the founding family since 1870. Today, it is a large company with a string of internationally renowned brands for all tastes, from exclusive oenological gems to accessible wines. Bodegas Torres makes wines in several denominations of origin in Spain, such as Conca de Barberà (Tarragona).
Milmanda 2022 is a Chardonnay that develops in the bottle, like great wines do. A white wine which, thanks to its outstanding quality, receives excellent ratings from specialised guides year after year.
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.
