Marimar Torres, the fourth generation of the TORRES family, has been involved in the wine business all her life. She set her eyes on California and made it her home in 1975. She was the best-known ambassador of Spanish wines in America. In 1986, she selected a privileged place in the Russian River/Green Valley in Sonoma County, to set up her own winery. Because of her European heritage, emphasis on the vineyard was a natural concept for Marimar. The wines, made entirely from estate-grown grapes, are truly an expression of their terroir. In year 2006, the vineyards start transition to biodynamic viticulture, increasing the commitment to ecological balance and sustainability, after organic certification by California Certified Organic Farmers, the strictest certification in the world.
