In the national wine landscape, few wineries combine tradition and innovation with such mastery as AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA.
Located in the heart of Penedès, this family winery has managed to transcend the boundaries of time, keeping alive the essence of its founder, AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA, who in 1978 decided to embark on a journey that would forever change the panorama of cava in Spain.
Since its inception, the winery has been deeply rooted in the history and culture of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, a small Catalan municipality recognized worldwide for its cava production. AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA, is not only the name of the founder of the winery but also the heritage passed down from his passion for wine and commitment to excellence.
This commitment is reflected in each bottle that leaves its winery, where tradition meets innovation to create cavas and wines of exceptional quality.
Today, under the current management of their 2 children: Alex – winemaker, technical and viticulture director and Gemma, lawyer and company administrator, they are a reference in family businesses in the Penedès.
A philosophy supported by three pillars
The winery’s philosophy is based on three fundamental pillars: respect for the terroir, sustainability and innovation.
AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA has been a pioneer in the use of indigenous varieties such as Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and Trepat, demonstrating its commitment to the preservation of biodiversity and the most authentic expression of the Penedès.
In addition, the winery has adopted organic farming and manual harvesting practices, ensuring not only the quality of its products, but also care for the environment.
One of the most recent examples of its innovative spirit is XV, a pale rosé wine that reflects the essence of the winery. Made from an ancestral variety, Xarel·lo Vermell, this wine is the result of a limited production in which each one of them testifies to an exceptional harvest.
Hand-harvested in October 2021, this wine has been carefully macerated and fermented, revealing a unique structure and creaminess that captures the essence of the variety. With a transparent salmon color and orange and pink reflections, XV offers an unparalleled sensory experience, with aromas of red fruits and pineapple, and a fresh and fruity flavor in the mouth.
The 2022 harvest was characterized by being particularly dry, with only 380 liters of rain, but fresh, which allowed for slow maturation and an exceptional concentration of aromas. This balance between volume, structure and acidity makes XV an ideal wine to enjoy as an aperitif or to accompany starters, offering a unique experience different from any other rosé.
In short, AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA is not only a winery, it is a living legacy that continues to evolve, always faithful to its roots and its commitment to quality.
With each bottle, AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA invites you to discover the richness of the Penedès, celebrating tradition and innovation in every sip.
