- La Masia means The Farmhouse in Catalonia, Marimar Torres’ home region, and our winery is designed to resemble a classic Catalan farmhouse. A blend of 3 different Chardonnay clones comes out of the glass with an engaging fragrance. On the palate, there are hints of classic green apple and tropical papaya. An opulent, rich, and creamy wine yet fresh and crisp, with good acidity.
The Don Miguel Vineyard: Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this sustainable vineyard is located in the Green Valley the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River Valley, only ten miles from the Pacific. Planted in the European-style high density of over 2,000 vines/acre, the yields are low and labor is intensive, but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse. The blend of clones in this vintage is 45% Rued, 34% See, and 21% Spring Mountain
In 1981 she started the search for the perfect property to plant a vineyard, and - after two years of searching - she bought 25 hectares of land in Sonoma County, close to the town of Sebastopol in the Russian River Valley appellation, an area which arguably produces the finest Pinot Noir in all of California. Today the Don Miguel Vineyard encompasses 50 planted acres. About 20 are planted with Chardonnay, 20 with Pinot Noir, five with Albariño, five with Tempranillo, two with Syrah, and one with an experimental block of Godello.
