Torres establishes foothold in Rioja

Torres is almost synonymous with Catalonia. But now they have bought a small property in Rioja, not big, just some 5 hectares. Torres has since several years expanded to other countries: California and Chile. And also to other regions in Spain: Priorat, Toro, Ribera del Duero and Jumilla. And now also to the grandfather of all Spanish wines, the Rioja. They will produce wine mainly from bought grapes, it is said, and from newly planted own vines. The first vintage is expected to be 2009. Wine Business International
