Shipping calculated at checkout.
Sourced predominantly from Rioja Alavesa, the cooler of Rioja’s subregions, this 100% Tempranillo displays a naturally higher toned acid without the blending of other varieties.  Oak-aged for over 12 months and bottle-age for even more, this wine display a deep red cherry color. On the nose it reveals notes of black ripened fruits and spicy aromas (cocoa and nutmeg) from the oak, combine with a silky mouth with pleasant tannins. The silky tannins of Altos Ibericos Crianza combine particularly well with tapas made from fresh ingredients like red meat, oil-rich fish, cheese and all kinds of cured meat and sausages.   James Suckling: 91Pts

The Torres surname has been linked to wine for more than three centuries, when the family first planted vines in the Penedes. Since it was founded in 1870, Bodegas Torres has combined tradition and innovation with the aim of leading the premium quality wine and brandy sector. In doing so, the company has always carried out its work with the utmost respect for the environment, lead by the 5th generation of the family.

Right from the beginning, exports have been one of the main pillars of the company, and nowadays Torres wines can be found in more than 150 countries. Thanks to countless effort to have Spanish world recognized, Familia Torres has been named Europe’s most admired brand for nine years by beverage magazine Drinks International and Miguel A. Torres is one of the few Spanish producers to have been named Decanter Man of the Year.

The Torres family's philosophy of winegrowing begins with respect for the land. "We live from the earth and we are a family-owned company, so this combination leads us to care for our land and resources — not just for this generation, but also for future generations", says Miguel A. Torres. Torres completely avoids the use of chemical treatments, replacing them with biological alternatives, following the viticulture traditions of Torres' ancestors.
