La Masía means The Farmhouse in Catalonia, the home region of Miguel Torres, and the winery is designed to resemble a classic Catalan farmhouse. Torres family has grown grapes in Spain since the 17th century and their philosophy has always been to produce a wine as an extension of farming the vineyard.

Vineyard: The Don Miguel Vineyard - Named after the late patriarch of the Torres family, this sustainable vineyard is located in the Green Valley — the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River. Planted in  soils of clay, sand and volcanic rock. European-style cultivation with high density of over 2,000 vines/acre, the yields are low and labor intensive; but the vines live longer and the grapes acquire better balance and greater concentration, as well as more elegance and finesse. 

The Vinification: The grapes were hand picked from 4th to the 17th of September, destemmed and fermented in small stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged in premium French oak barrels, 46% new, coopered by Remond, Rousseau and Marchive from the forests of Bertranges, Allier and Central France.
