Sangre de Toro Edición Especial Reserva 2016
A legendary, Mediterranean-style wine
Sangre de Toro is one of the most iconic wines made by Familia Torres. A legendary label that represents Mediterranean wine and boasts half a century of history. Sangre de Toro Edición Especial Reserva 2016 was grown on vines in the Penedès area carefully selected by the firm’s winemakers, and is a combination of the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. You’ll only find this superb red at Vinoselección. It exhibits intense aromas of ripe black fruit with a slightly spicy background. Balanced and silky on the palate with delicate, rounded tannins.
General information
Sangre de Toro Edición Especial Reserva 2016 is a blend of the Spanish Tempranillo and the international Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. It was fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature for 10 days at a temperature of 25-26º C. The resulting wine was aged for 12 months in American and French oak barrels and for at least 12 months in the bottle.
Torres is a key name in the history of Spanish wine. A pioneering and constantly innovating company with over 150 years of experience, it has nine wineries in Spain and two abroad, 1,800 hectares of its own vineyards and exports to over 150 countries. It has been named by Drinks International as the World's Most Admired Wine Brand, topping the European ranking for 10 consecutive years since 2010.
It is also one of the few major wineries that are 100% family-owned. This status, combined with its international reputation, has made it a member of Primum Familiae Vini, an association of twelve of Europe's most prestigious century-old wine-producing families, and the founder of International Wineries for Climate Action, which promotes the decarbonisation of the sector.
The history of the Torres family as winegrowers in the Penedès region dates back to the sixteenth century. They made the leap to production three centuries later. Jaime Torres Vendrell was the driving force behind the winery founded in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870. Jaime had made his fortune by emigrating to Cuba and engaging in maritime trade and other business ventures, and on returning to Catalonia he joined forces with his brother Miguel, a winegrower, to embark on a new era as producers. Few companies have worked so hard and so well to conquer markets beyond our borders. Today, Familia Torres exports 70% of its production.
Sangre de Toro Edición Especial Reserva 2016 (D.O. Catalunya) pairs wonderfully with beef stew or Toledo-style partridge
CATA's notes
Cherry-red with brick-red hues. Intense aromas of ripe black fruit with a slightly spicy background. Balanced and silky on the palate with delicate and round tannins.
