2016 Torres Grans Muralles Magnum: Conca de Barberà
The 2016 Torres Grans Muralles Magnum (1.5L) is one of Spain’s most prestigious wines. The vineyards are located at the foot of the historic walls of the Poblet Monastery in Conca de Barberà. Familia Torres reintroduced rare native grape varieties here, such as Querol and Garró, giving Grans Muralles its unique character. The Magnum bottle also ensures a slower and more refined aging process.
The outstanding 2016 vintage produced perfectly ripe grapes with an exceptional balance between power and finesse. The wine ages in French oak barrels and develops impressive aromatic complexity, refined tannins, and an exceptionally long finish.
Aroma & taste
The wine opens with aromas of black cherries, cassis, plums, Mediterranean herbs, violets, graphite, cocoa, balsamic vinegar, and subtle spices. On the palate, it is powerful and elegant, with velvety tannins, lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.
Serving & foodpairing
Serve at 16–18°C and decant the wine about two hours in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, stews, and aged hard cheeses.
The story behind the bottle
The name Grans Muralles refers to the medieval walls of the Poblet Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Conca de Barberà. Familia Torres also uses this wine to revive nearly forgotten Catalan grape varieties. In this way, a modern wine brings together a piece of medieval history and lost winemaking traditions.
