DESCRIPTION
Since the 1980's, Familia Torres has been recovering ancestral varieties to restore Catalonia's viticultural heritage and combat climate change. Launched by Miguel A. Torres in the early 1980s, the aim is to discover varieties that survived the phylloxera plague that devastated European vineyards in the late 19th century. Today, the fifth generation of the Torres family are firm proponents of this project, with the ambition of making unique, exciting wines based on forgotten varieties. They are little winemaking gems that also stand out for their resistance to drought and high temperatures, making them particularly interesting in light of a warming climate. Of the more than 50 varieties recovered so far, six have proved extremely promising. The winery has found that some of these varieties, like Pirene from Penedès, not only have great potential for winemaking but are also highly resistant to high temperatures and drought. Pirene is a fresh, elegant red variety that is grown to make this single variety wine in very limited production.
