4.9/5
53 reviews

Torres San Valentín 2024 is a white wine from Catalonia, made from the Parellada grape variety, which is known for its light and clean style. This grape produces light, refreshing aromas and wines with low alcohol content. The bouquet has notes of apple, pear, and delicate flowers. The taste is light, with a gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity, making the wine pleasant and easy to drink. The texture is smooth, with a clean and short finish. This is a wine that is often chosen for its simple, soft character. It goes well with fruit, light desserts, or when you want an easy-drinking white wine without any sharp edges.

About the vineyard[+]

In 1999 the DO Catalunya became the first Denomination to encompass the entire Autonomous Community. Its objective was to provide support commercially and in a regulatory capacity for the many Catalan wineries that were producing quality wines but were unable to sell them as such because they did not fall within a specific DO. As regards the choice of grape varieties allowed in wine production, the Regulating Council is decidedly lenient yet always ensuring DO supervision of quality standards. In addition, far-flung wineries and those too distant from a DO demarcation area, which could not benefit from any support network before, have since been able to make use of this commercial umbrella. The climate and soils are as dissimilar in nature as the wines are diverse. They range from Mediterranean climatic conditions with the northerly Tramontana wind affecting the Empordà region, to the continental climate found inland on the Lleida plains, and account for the exceptional character of wines from the Priorat area. Consequently, a rich tapestry of flavours, textures and aromas is wholly guaranteed.
