Sangre de Toro

A red wine that has spoken for itself for decades: the Sangre de Toro from Torres is a reliable classic from the Penedès — and one of the best-selling Spanish red wines worldwide.

Torres has been cultivating vineyards in Catalonia since 1870. The family winery is now one of the defining houses of the Iberian wine scene and stands for artisanal continuity with international reach. It was the Sangre de Toro that made Torres famous on the world stage in the 1970s.

Seven days of fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled 28–30 °C, followed by two weeks of maceration contact with the berry skins for color and structure. Six months of aging in 300-liter barrels of American oak define the aroma profile: dark blackberry, plum, a hint of vanilla, and sweet wood spice. On the palate, medium body, soft tannins, pleasantly accessible.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Sangre de Toro by Torres taste?

Dark blackberry and plum dominate, accompanied by a hint of vanilla and sweet woody spice from aging in American oak. The tannins are soft, the body is medium — accessible without appearing flat.

Is the Sangre de Toro dry?

Yes, it is vinified dry. The fruit appears ripe and round due to the plum and blackberry, but there is no residual sugar — the finish is clear and dry.

What does the Sangre de Toro pair best with?

Pan-seared lamb, pork tenderloin, or tapas with chorizo and Manchego are classic companions. It also pairs well with pasta in a rich tomato sauce — it doesn't require an elaborate dish.

At what temperature should I serve the wine?

Between 14 and 16 °C — i.e., slightly cooler than room temperature. This allows the fruit and wood notes to come into their own in a balanced way, without the alcohol coming to the fore.

How long does the Sangre de Toro keep after opening?

Well-sealed, it keeps for two to three days in the fridge. The soft tannins and moderate alcohol content of 13.5% make it forgiving — it does not lose its character immediately.

How do I store the Sangre de Toro correctly?

Cool, dark, and lying down — ideally between 12 and 16 °C, away from heat sources and direct light. This keeps the natural cork moist, and the wine continues to develop calmly.
