An exceptional wine by Torres For over 125 years, Coronas has been one of the most emblematic wines from the Miguel Torres bodega, the recipient of top class awards from around the world. The name of the Torres family appeared in Catalonian winemaking history in the 17th century. Since then their fame, production and vineyards –over 1,700 hectares– have crossed not only borders but also continents. In addition to the Tempranillo variety, which emblazons the main label, this wine is also made using 14% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It has a bright, ripe cherry colour with a ruby edge. It has a bouquet full of woodland fruits on the nose:blackberries,black plums and hints of spiced grape skins. It is a meaty and full-flavoured wine in the mouth, confirming its aromas, gentle tannins which blend superbly with a light touch of oak, mingled with traces of chocolate. The result is a pleasant, well-rounded wine, elegant and with personality. Its name represents all the ideals defended by the firm since its creation: excellence, authenticity and quality. Coronas was the first red wine by Torres to obtain international renown. Today, it is exported to 120 countries. It has received a number of awards. Since the early 20th century, when King Alfonso XIII visited the Torres bodegas, until the current King of Spain, Juan Carlos I attended its 125 Anniversary celebrations. An internationally known wine which has been exported since its creation and which has become a legend.
