Description
The eagerly-anticipated new vintage from Tomas Torres is here!
The wines of Celler Tomas Torres, made in Carricola just south of Valencia, are veritable staples here at Public. The whites are chalky and saline and the reds full of joyous Mediterranean sunshine, and everything is medium-bodied and very fresh thanks to the calcareous chalky soils.
With Vicent Tomas having now retired from winemaking duties, the wines are now vinified by local vigneron Cris Vanyó – a totally seamless transition, with the quality still brilliant and the character of the fruit and site still very much on show.
Karricola comes from the local grapes tortosi and tardana, which here have been macerated for 6 days before pressing off to tank for fermentation and elevage. Chalky, saline and lightly textural, with restrained stone fruit and gently bitter green almond phenolics, this is tasting absolutely killer with green curry and very likely with other things too.
It’s great to have these back in the shop!
