The family has the old document, dated 17th<\/sup> June 1395, in which reference is made to when the Lord of Gelida (a town in the Alt Pened\u00e8s region) established an emphyteusis \u2013 a cession \u2013 of the mas\u00eda Mas de la Torrevella and its lands, in favour of the family ancestor by direct maternal line. The pound was the monetary accountancy unit that in the medieval era had no physical counterpart. It was equivalent to 20 salaries, and a salary corresponded to 12 \u2018monies\u2019. The \u2018monies\u2019 did exist and only in the lower Middle Ages coins were minted in Barcelona with the value of one salary.

Montilla, enologist at Torell\u00f3, \u201cin 2020 we have had a harvest with lower production, and we had to give a lot of attention to all of the vegetative cycle and the harvest, but we obtained grapes with great quality. Harvesting by hand, we made a first selection of the fruits on the vine and, also, afterwards we made a second screening on the selection table<\/p>\n
Tasting note<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nA clear wine with a brilliant yellow colour with shades of new gold and green reflections.<\/p>\n
In the nose it is intense and complex. Notes appear of mature stone fruits and florals, like fennel and camomile, which are characteristic of the variety. Also, due to the passing of the wine through different recipients with different textures, there are earthy notes, of toasted aromas and vanillas.<\/p>\n
In the mouth it is velvety, silky with good acidity that gives it freshness. The influence of the different recipients can be noted, the freshness of the stainless steel, the minerality of the cement egg, the creamy notes of the barrel, the earthiness of the amphora and the reduction of the demijohn. The notes of mature fruits like apricot are also confirmed in the mouth. It\u2019s a very Mediterranean wine.<\/p>\n
Pairing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nThis white wine is ideal for accompanying rices, shellfish and grilled, baked or smoked fish.<\/p>\n
