The Wine:

La Masía means ‘The Farmhouse’ in Catalonia, Marimar Torres’ home region, & the winery at Marimar is designed to resemble a classic Catalan farmhouse.

An exceptional wine that captures the essence of the Russian River Valley. This wine is made from the Albariño grape variety grown in the Don Miguel Vineyard, which is known for its ideal climate and perfect soil composition to produce world-class Albariño. The wine is crafted in a unique style that balances brightness and texture with a refreshing acidity that makes it perfect for sipping alone or pairing with any seafood dishes. Marimar Estate’s Albariño effortlessly balances rich fruit flavors with light salinity and mineral notes, evoking memories of a summer day at the beach. It’s a wine that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the palate of those who savour it.

Further Info:

With a family history of winemaking that dates back to 1870, it was maybe not surprising that Marimar Torres, sister of the legendary Miguel Torres, would continue the family’s legacy of producing exceptional wines.
In 1981 she started the search for the perfect property to plant a vineyard, & – after two years of searching – she bought 25 hectares of land in Sonoma County, close to the town of Sebastopol in the Russian River Valley appellation, an area which arguably produces the finest Pinot Noir in all of California. Today the Don Miguel Vineyard encompasses 50 planted acres. About 20 are planted with Chardonnay, 20 with Pinot Noir, five with Albariño, five with Tempranillo, two with Syrah & one with an experimental block of Godello.

Building on the success of her first enterprise Marimar then decided to buy a magnificent new 180- acre property in the Sonoma Coast appellation, naming the vineyard ‘Dona Margarita’ in honour of her mother. Only 20 acres are planted, all of which are Pinot Noir. The rest of the estate is a dedicated conservation area which is protected from any future development so that wildlife can thrive.
