Familia Torres founded its winery in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870, 150 years ago, but its roots in the winegrowing traditions of Penedès date back to the 16th century. Five generations have carried the family business forward, passing on their passion for wine culture from parents to children – a passion steeped in respect for land and tradition, and a firm belief in innovation. Today the winery focuses on wines from unique vineyards and historical estates, as well as the recovery of ancestral varieties, which could provide long-term solutions. Since 2008, Familia Torres has taken active steps to combat the climate emergency, implementing adaptation and mitigation measures to reduce its carbon emissions. Familia Torres has a historical connection to Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre, but now its presence extends to vineyards and wineries in preeminent Spanish wine regions – Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Rueda, and Rías Baixas – and in Chile and California. It is a member of Primum Familiae Vini, an association representing twelve of the oldest and most prestigious wine families in Europe.

Housed in a centuries-old monastery, where the monks made wine more than 500 years ago, Barón de Ley was founded in 1985 as a ground-breaking project in DOCa Rioja: a vineyard-focused winery inspired by the Médoc châteaux. Viñedos

The history of Protos dates back to 1927 when 11 vine growers established the “RIBERA DE DUERO” winery, with a progressive vision to prepare quality wines with a commitment to brand value. Ninety years later, this spirit not only lives on, but also flourishes year upon year. At Protos, we have always taken pride in our roots, using only our native variety, the Tempranillo, and in 1982 allowing our brand “RIBERA DE DUERO” to be used for the recently established Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. Today Protos is the leading winery in Ribera del Duero with 3 wineries in Ribera del Duero D.O. for the elaboration of our red wines, 1 in Rueda D.O. for the elaboration of our white wines & 1 in Cigales for the elaboration of our rosé wines and clients in around 100 countries, we continue our international growth with the help of a solid distributor network and in-house staff in the main international markets including the USA, UK, Germany and Asia.
