Interesting facts
The exquisite red dry wine "San Valentin" was created by Miguel Torres as a gift for his wife, Margarita Riera, on Valentine's Day, which is how it got its name. For the production of the wine, the producer uses the widely cultivated Spanish grape variety Garnacha Tinta, also known as Grenache. Wines from this variety exhibit a rich, spicy, and intense fruity flavor. After harvesting, the grapes undergo cold maceration for 5-6 days followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28 °C in stainless steel tanks for 8-10 days. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks until April of the year following the harvest. The storage potential of "San Valentin" is 3 years. The growing season in 2021 in Catalonia was very favorable. The summer was cooler than expected, with rains at the end of August. The weather in September was milder than usual and overcast. The ripening speed slowed down, allowing the grapes to reach full maturity without losing acidity. The harvest was significantly more generous than in 2020, when the region suffered greatly from mildew.
About the Manufacturer
The Torres company was founded by Jaime and Miguel Torres in 1870. The Iberian Peninsula, where the family's main vineyards are located, is known for its diverse soils and microclimates, ideal for viticulture. The secrets of winemaking and love for the land have been passed down through generations. This tradition, innovation, and vision for the future have turned Torres into a renowned company whose products can now be found in over 140 countries worldwide. In 1979, Torres acquired a small winery in Curicó, in the Chilean Central Valley, becoming the first foreign company to produce wine from Chilean grapes grown in a unique location at the foot of the Andes volcanoes. The Curicó winery is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allows winemakers to carefully control the entire process. Torres was the first winery in Chile to use temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation and to age wine in high-quality French oak barrels. Today, Torres owns over 1300 hectares of vineyards not only in Spain but also on other continents. One of the main priorities of the Torres family is to preserve the culture of viticulture for future generations. Therefore, Torres pays great attention to ecological issues and their solutions — treating wastewater, actively participating in the conservation and replanting of regional forests, as well as preserving the Bonelli's eagle in Spain and the Andean condor in Chile, investing in research on renewable energy sources (solar panels and wind farms), hybrid vehicles, vineyard management, and forest biomass. In January 2007, Wine Enthusiast named Torres "Best European Winery of Europe-2006" for its innovation, commitment to research, and significance in the world of wine and spirits.
