Winery's Notes
"La Masía means The Farmhouse in Catalonia, my home region, where my family has grown grapes since the 17th century. Our winery is designed to resemble a classic Catalan farmhouse to reflect our philosophy, which has always been to produce a wine as an extension of farming the 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, 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 intensive; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse.
The three clones bestow the classic character of this wine: The See contributes apple flavors, the Rued the aromatic, floral nose, and the Spring Mountain adds a spicy note. The mouthfeel is fresh and savory, with good acidity and reminiscent of stone fruit like white peach and orchard fruits. The oak is nicely integrated, adding notes of vanilla and hazelnut. It is delightful to drink right now but it will continue to develop and last for at least 15 to 20 years. I would recommend serving it at 46°- 48° F."

"Bright, sunny aromas of citrus and buttery croissant waft from the glass of this vivacious Chardonnay. There's a bit more structure and flavors of roasted pear, vanilla crème brulee and the warmth of clove and cinnamon across a plush, textured palate that finishes with waves of barrel spice." -TC, 9/1/24
90 Points - Wine Spectator
"A juicy version, showing plenty of energy behind its pear, Meyer lemon and Honeycrisp apple flavors, which are vibrant and aromatic. Touches of lemongrass and lemon balm reverberate on the finish, with a hint of toasted brioche. Drink now. 867 cases made." -MW, 6/30/25
