Catalan Torelló cava wine maker sets in Hong Kong

From http://www.expansion.com/2011/10/24/catalunya/1319484860.html (in Spanish)

Torelló is a cellar based in Subirats (Alt Penedès, Catalonia) that has been making cava wine since 1951, although the family has been growing grapes since 1395, when a local landlord granted some land to the Miquel family. Now, with the 22nd generation in command of the business, the time for internationalization has arrived. After more than 20 years in Japan, Torelló has found a distributor in Hong Kong that is expected to become the gateway to China and its market. Torelló produces 650,000 bottles per year, of which 550,000 are of cava and the remaining 100,000 bottles are of wine, and its principals markets so far are Spain, Belgium and Norway.
