Blanco Granito is the first wine to be fermented and aged in Galician granite. This project pays homage to ancestral winemaking by using innovative egg-shaped, granite vats – the predominate and almost exclusive bedrock found in Rías Baixas. The porosity of the granite is key to constant micro-oxygenation, which heightens the wine’s aromas and gives it the earthy salinity of the rock. The egg-shaped vats facilitate the movement of the wine and maintain the lees in suspension. This increases unctuosity and volume in the mouth. This singular wine has marked acidity and a huge personality.

Founded in 1870, Familia Torres is widely regarded as one of the world’s most innovative wineries. They are also one of Spain’s leading producers of premium quality wines – a position which was recognised when they were presented with ‘The World’s Most Admired Wine Brand’ award. Miguel A. Torres is widely regarded as one of Europe’s leading wine visionaries. After studying oenology and viticulture in Dijon and Montpellier he was responsible for pioneering a number of significant technological advances in the field of winemaking in both Spain and Chile.
