Perpetual has been created in homage to the old ‘vinos de guarda’, wines capable of defeating time and therefore suitable for laying down. However, Perpetual already reveals its elegance and harmony today and is notable for its great aromatic complexity. After the success of Torres’ first Priorat wine, ‘Salmos’, the family decided to make a flagship wine for the Priorat winery that would show its commitment to the area. Crafted from a blend of old vines (80 to 100 years old) of Carinena and Garnacha, and aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Very dark, intense ruby colour. An aroma of preserves (cherry, blackberry) and spices on a highly characteristic mineral base. On the palate it has great volume with an admirable balance between the wine’s fruity density and its spicy notes acquired through ageing in new oak (cedar, toast). During its prolonged, complex finish there’s also a hint of chocolate and tobacco. Decanter: 95Pts; James Suckling: 93Pts; Robert Parker: 92Pts; Wine Spectator: 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.
