Reviving the winemaking tradition of Catalonia, the fifth generation of Familia Torres looks to the future, seeking authenticity and creating exceptional wines that are truly special due to their uniqueness.The recovered variety Gonfaus was located in 1998 and has adapted particularly well to the Purgatori estate in the Les Garrigues area of Lleida. It is a feminine variety with very low productivity. Its wines present complex aromas of ripe fruits with a slightly spicy background and show well-integrated acidity and good concentration, with mature and sweet tannins.
