Perpetual
Born to defeat time
Perpetual has been created in homage to the old “vinos de guarda”, wines capable of defeating time and therefore suitable for laying down. Howewer, Perpetual already reveals its elegance and harmony today and is notable for its great aromatic complexity. After the success of Torres’ first Priorat wine, “Salmos”, the family decided to make a flagship wine for the Priorat winery that would show its commitment to the area. Mireia Torres, a member of the fifth generation of the family and Technical Director at Bodegas Torres, has personally made this wine from different Lloar and Porrera estates – some in terraces on slate soil also known as licorella, and others of a coastal nature.
Perpetual is a wine born of time and terrain. The old Garnacha and Cariñena vines are between 80 and 100 years old and grow on steep, rocky slopes. Llicorella (slate) is the essence of this beautifully concentrated wine with great personality. The parcels are small and located near several villages of El Priorat. They belong to local winegrowers, but undergo rigorous controls to ensure that the fruit is of the highest quality. Perpetual is a tribute to the well- aging Priorat wines, intense, full of character and born to defeat time.
Shallow soils developed over Carboniferous (Paleozoic) slates that drain swiftly and have a low water holding capacity. It is precisely these soils, located on steep slopes, that give Priorat wines their typicity.
