Torres Albarino

Pazo Torre Penelas, founded in 2017 by the Torres family, is situated on one of the most historic estates in Galicia’s Rías Baixas region, where the family has been producing wine since 2012. Located in the town of Portas, in the Val do Salnés subregion, the estate beautifully blends innovation with ancestral winemaking traditions. The wines crafted here achieve a distinctive mineral balance, embodying both historical heritage and modern innovation. The estate, which dates back to the 14th or 15th century, is registered as a historic heritage site and was once home to the Spanish conquistador Ponce de León. In 2018, Familia Torres transformed the ground floor of the estate’s iconic tower into a small winery, pioneering the use of granite for vinification. The estate's Blanco Granito is the first Spanish wine to be vinified and aged in granite vats. Under the guidance of Winemaker Víctor Cortizo, the winery specializes in Albariño, sourced from the six-hectare walled vineyard planted in 1996. In addition to their innovative offerings, Pazo Torre Penelas also produces a classic Albariño under the Pazo das Bruxas label.
