Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

When making Torres Gran Vina Sol, part of the ChardonnayåÊis barrel-fermented and aged for five months in Limousin oak barriques, the remainder being cool fermented in stainless steel. This results inåÊa rich, buttery wine. The final blend also incorporates a small proportion of Parellada which gives extra lift to the bouquet and elegance on the palate

We say...

Gran Vina SolåÊreally has put Penedes on the map as a region which produces more than just Cava. A breakthrough wine using mainly Chardonnay (rather than the traditional Parellada grape which is used in the supermarket wine Vina Sol and is 100% Parellada). ParelladaåÊbeing one of the three grapes used in making Cava.

Our Alternative Wines

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity

We say...

A classic wine from an outstanding producer
