The 2016 Torres Reserva Real is one of Spain\u2019s most prestigious red wines. This exclusive cuv\u00e9e is produced only in exceptional vintages and pays tribute to the Spanish royal family\u2019s visit to Familia Torres. The wine combines international grape varieties with the unique terroir of Pened\u00e8s and has long been considered one of the estate\u2019s absolute finest wines.<\/p>\n
The exceptional 2016 vintage produced perfectly ripe grapes with an impressive balance of power, freshness, and elegance. After a long aging period in French oak barrels, the wine develops exceptional aromatic complexity, refined tannins, and impressive aging potential.<\/p>\n
The wine opens with aromas of cassis, black cherries, plums, cedar, graphite, dark chocolate, tobacco, Mediterranean herbs, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is powerful and elegant, with velvety-soft tannins, lively acidity, and an exceptionally long, mineral finish.<\/p>\n
Serve at 16\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine about two hours in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, Iberian pork, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
Reserva Real has a royal origin: Torres developed the wine following King Juan Carlos I\u2019s visit to the estate in 1995. The name refers to that event. So behind the bottle lies not only the story of Pened\u00e8s, but also a special moment in recent Spanish history.<\/p>\n
