Gonfaus

AN ANCESTRAL ENOLOGICAL GEM

The most exciting research project we are currently engaged in is the recovery of ancestral grape varieties. This initiative was started by Miguel A. Torres in the early 1980s with the aim of discovering grapevines that had survived the phylloxera plague, which devastated European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. Today, the fifth generation is driving this project forward with great determination, aspiring to craft unique wines from forgotten varieties capable of evoking deep emotions.

These are small enological treasures that stand out not only for their uniqueness but also for their resilience to drought and high temperatures, making them particularly relevant in the context of the new climate reality. Out of the more than 50 varieties recovered to date, six have captured our attention, such as the gonfaus, which is used to produce this very limited-edition single-varietal wine.
