Torres 20 Hors d’Age is a multi-prized brandy produced by Torres at its own distillery at the Penedès region (Catalunya). It is obtained by double distillation of selected wines (high in acidity and low in alcohol) made from grapes of the white varieties of Parellada and Ugni Blanc. Then it ages for up to 20 years in French oak barrels. The result is this elegant brandy, that was elected “Best Brandy Worldwide” by the Wine & Spirit Competition (UK) in 1997 and again in 2006.
