Victoria Torres Albillo Criollo

Victoria Torres Albillo Criollo is a single-variety Albillo Blanco white wine produced by the Matías i Torres winery under the DO. La Palma in the Canary Islands.

Victoria Torres Pecis is an oenologist and winemaker from the Canary Islands who represents the fifth generation of the Matías i Torres winery and has managed to position her wines in the best restaurants in the world, such as Celler de Can Roca.

Victoria Torres Albillo Criollo comes from vineyards located 1,250 meters above sea level, with volcanic soils. The bunches of Albillo Blanco are harvested manually and when they arrive at the winery they undergo a pellicular maceration for a few hours and ferment in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. Before fermentation finishes, the must is transferred to demijohns, a kind of round glass container, where fermentation ends. The resulting wine is aged for around 11 months with its fine lees in the same kind of container.

Today, Matías i Torres is a reference point on the Canary Islands. They have a heritage that includes several old vineyards of native varieties without grafting which grow on the volcanic soils characteristic of the area. A wine heritage which is worked with respect and minimal intervention to preserve and transmit all the personality and singularities of these extraordinary and increasingly sought-after island wines.
