Familia Torres is a B Corp and a leader in regenerative viticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFruit is a blend of the estate's Salnés vines plus purchased grapes from Salnés and O'Rosal (the two subzones balance each other — O'Rosal's warmth\/roundness against Salnés's slower-ripening, higher-acid character). Cold macerated 6 hours, then fermented and aged in stainless steel at 15–16°C. 12.5% ABV. 2024 was a wetter-than-average vintage (+30% rainfall vs. historical norm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTasting notes: luminous straw color with golden highlights; nose of white flowers, pineapple, crisp apple, zesty lemon, other notes describe a slightly reductive\/mineral opening (phosphorus, soft flowers) opening into lime and apple.
