  At just $13 in Ontario, this Catalunya white from Torres, a blend of Grenache Blanc and Parellada, the latter a fairly rare local varietal, certainly punches above its weight, as one expects from such a great producer -- one dedicated to reducing its GHG emissions, as the label stresses. It's hardly deep or complex, but it offers a fine combination of apple, pear, lemon-lime, white flowers, and almond, with decent body and acidity, sort of like unoaked Chardonnay. Basic but not simple, it's just a good, solid food wine.

  This has been a very consistent and excellent value wine for many years with great floral fruit and always excellent acidity. The 2019 is a conscious or unconscious decision to be slightly different. Less acidity and richer but definitely not a better wine. I would also be concerned that previously there was info on the back label about Torres and the grapes etc. whereas now it is just a mass of politically correct stuff about health, suitable for vegans and how incredibly eco friendly they are.
