At the workshop, Hosted Buyers hold pre -scheduled business meetings and tastings with Iberian wineries of potential interest  as well is TORRENS MOLINER.

These meetings have the dual objectives of discovering and selecting new limited production boutique wines and of cultivating new professional relationships.

Both Hosted Buyers and cellers are carefully selected by Wine Pleasures in order to ensure that both parties will find what they are looking for.

The Wine Pleasures Workshop Buyer meets Iberian Cellar will give buyers the opportunity to discover new wine suppliers not normally present in the large trade fairs, meet the winemaker in a highly personalised setting, taste the latest vintages, discuss imports, prices and timescales, discover new products and attractive labelling and packaging, and appreciate the excellence in quality – price. All this in a cost-effective, one stop opportunity to do so by meeting face to face in Spain with a wide range of quality wine makers concentrated in one convenient and enchanting venue for just two and a half days.

So if you are a Wine professional that is looking for a SPANISH WINNERY  that elaborates a high quality Wine and Cava limited production, do not hesitate to contact us , or just come over to the Workshop, where you are going to be able to make a fine tasting of our products.

Wake up Californian wineries, Spanish wine tourism is on the rise!

When I think of Spain I think of great Spanish culture, beautiful woman, and of course, great wine.

Hit me again Mr Winery tour guide

In the states, it’s tough to find the winery that gives you a warm feeling of family tradition dedicated to wine and their consumers. It is more, trying wine after wine without great explanation or what went into preparing that certain wine. As we say a lot after a night of festivities, “It’s like bar-hopping from one to the next.” However, my visit to Torrens Moliner, TM, proved to me that there is such thing as learning while drinking alcohol, wine in this case.

Torrens Moliner (DO Cava)

Being a visitor in Spain, I wanted to take advantage of something that is not easily accessible in the states and that is to try the wine that is made from this country. I have been able to do so by buying wine from local markets and grocery stores but just recently I had the opportunity to try wine from a very private and local winery in Catalunya. To be exact, they are located very close to Sant Sadurní D’Anoia in La Fortesa, where their new winery construction is almost complete.

TM is a family owned winery that was started in 1986 and located in the heart of Sant Sadurni d’Anoia and has since stayed small and private. To put its size in perspective to other wineries, its only international consumers it has partnered with is Mexico, Switzerland, and of course Spain. That was astonishing to me since wineries tend to find consumers pretty quickly. Yet, when finding out what TM’s objective, this made all the perfect sense. As their mission statement states,”… We have opted to self-finance the projects we have undertaken, to keep the business as a dynamic, independent, constantly-evolving family company.” Only making 60,000 bottles of wine a year, additionally, making 9 different wines and cavas, they are committed to their family and goals.

Reserve & Gran Reserve

Having tried 2 of their cavas, Cava Reserve and Cava Gran Reserve, this company is on the path to do greater things. Not only making more wine throughout the year, but wine and cava’s that are delicious and to everyone’s liking. They have 3 different aged wines and each are easily identifiable by their unique colored cork stamps; white stamps mean 9 to 15 months of ageing, green meaning 15 to 30 months of ageing, and black meaning more than 30 months of ageing.

Here’s that large window

With their new winery, in La Fortesa, it is sure to help TM expand their consumer base and begin to gain more recognition around not only in Spain but around the world. Their objective of being a family tradition style winery, their new location has just that. A beautiful establishment, they are easy to get in touch with, always making themselves available for any last minute winery visits, but most of all, their dedication to being connected with its consumers and family.

Let me have your comments

Once they get their winery settled and rolling (taking advantage of the social media), expect big things with this winery. It is worth your time and wine tasting pleasures.

Desde 1981, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia recuerda con la Fiesta de la Filoxera un episodio clave de su historia, la “plaga” de Filoxera que a partir del 1887 arrasó los Viñedos del municipio.

Un grupo de personajes del pueblo, conocidos como los Siete Savios, ayudaron en difundir el remedio per acabar con la Filoxera, replantando los Viñedos del pueblo con variedades provenientes de Amèrica, immunes al ataque.

Si teneis la ocasión de poder visitar la Capital del Cava durante estos dias, los “Sadurninencs” os haran partícipes de la historia y tradición del pueblo.

Esperamos vuestra visita !!!!
