About Sangre de Toro & Viña Sol Original Twin Pack
Sangre de Toro & Viña Sol Original Twin Pack combines two enduring Spanish wines from Familia Torres in a convenient two-bottle gift presentation. With one bottle of red and one bottle of white, it provides plenty of variety while showcasing two very different sides of the Torres wine portfolio.
The pack contains a full-sized 75cl bottle each of Sangre de Toro Original and Viña Sol Original. Sangre de Toro brings ripe fruit, spice and the fuller character expected from a Spanish red, while Viña Sol provides a lighter, fresher white wine with an emphasis on fruit and refreshing acidity.
It is a particularly useful wine gift when choosing for someone who enjoys different styles or when the bottles are intended to be shared over a meal.

- Gift presentation packaging
Sangre de Toro Original
Sangre de Toro is one of the best-known names associated with Familia Torres. Created in the 1950s, its distinctive identity draws inspiration from the Mediterranean and the legend of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine.
Sangre de Toro Original is a generous, approachable Spanish red designed around ripe fruit, spice and an easy-drinking texture.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep ruby red with an attractive, youthful intensity.
- Aroma: Ripe red and dark berries accompanied by gentle spice and Mediterranean herbal nuances.
- Flavour: Generous fruit character leads the palate, with berries, subtle spice and savoury complexity developing as the wine opens.
- Mouthfeel: Smooth and rounded with balanced tannins and a pleasantly warming finish.
Its combination of fruit and spice makes Sangre de Toro particularly versatile at the table. Pair it with grilled or roasted meats, burgers, pasta with tomato or meat-based sauces, Mediterranean dishes and semi-mature or mature cheeses.
Viña Sol Original
Viña Sol Original provides a refreshing contrast to the red wine in this twin pack. First created by the Torres family in the 1960s, Viña Sol has developed into one of the producer's most recognisable white wines.
Its style centres on freshness, fruit and easy drinkability, making it equally suited to serving before dinner or alongside lighter dishes.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright, pale yellow.
- Aroma: Fresh citrus and orchard fruit with delicate floral notes.
- Flavour: Crisp and fruit-forward, with lemony citrus and fresh apple character balanced by lively acidity.
- Mouthfeel: Light, clean and refreshing with a bright, easy-drinking finish.
Serve Viña Sol well chilled. It is an excellent partner for fish, shellfish, salads, rice dishes, light pasta, tapas and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
One Red and One White Wine
The appeal of this twin pack lies in its versatility. Rather than choosing between a red wine gift and a white wine gift, the recipient gets one of each.
Sangre de Toro can accompany richer dishes and evening meals, while Viña Sol works beautifully with lighter food or as a chilled aperitif. This makes the pack especially useful for couples, dinner hosts and households where wine preferences differ.
It can also provide both red and white options for a meal, with Viña Sol served alongside starters or seafood before moving to Sangre de Toro with a richer main course.
About Familia Torres
Familia Torres has been associated with winemaking in Spain for generations, with its roots in the Penedès region of Catalonia. The Torres family formally established its winery in 1870, although the family's connection with vineyards stretches back considerably further.
Over successive generations, Familia Torres has grown into one of Spain's most internationally recognised wine producers while remaining family owned.
Sangre de Toro and Viña Sol have both played an important role in that story. Although very different in style, they share an emphasis on approachable Spanish wine designed to be enjoyed around the table.
A Versatile Spanish Wine Gift
A two-bottle red and white wine gift is a practical choice for occasions where you may not know exactly which style the recipient prefers.
This Sangre de Toro & Viña Sol Original Twin Pack makes a suitable present for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, dinner hosts, housewarmings, thank-you gifts and other celebrations.
With two full-sized 75cl bottles rather than miniature wines, it also provides a substantial gift that can be opened and shared.
Serving Suggestions
Viña Sol Original should be served chilled, ideally at approximately 8–10°C. Its fresh character makes it particularly enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside lighter courses.
Sangre de Toro Original is best served slightly below typical room temperature, at approximately 16–18°C. Giving the wine a little time in the glass before drinking can help its fruit and spice aromas develop.
Together, the two bottles provide considerable flexibility for food pairing, covering everything from seafood and salads to pasta, grilled meat and cheese.
