Familia Torres Wine Dinner Compass Room | Thursday 25 February Torres is a family winery founded in 1870 by Jaime Torres Vendrell and boasts the most extensive vineyards in the Denomination of Origin of Penedès and the largest winery in Spain. During the Spanish Civil War the winery was bombarded, leaving everything in ruins, including the enormous vat. Miguel Torres Carbó, a fourth generation member of the family, rebuilt the winery in 1940 and started the business up again. He brought an end to the sale of bulk wine and started to market it in labelled bottles. In 1966, work started on the modern wine-making and oenology with foreign grapes imported: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and later on Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Under the Torres brand name they trade wine and brandy under on a range of different labels, with their best known brandies being Torres 5 and Torres 10. Many Torres wines are produced from international rather than traditional Spanish grape varieties and are varietally labelled. The company exports wines to over 140 countries.
