Biography

Mackenzie Scott was raised in Macon, Georgia, United States. She started singing in her high school's musical production of Fiddler on the Roof after being told by her family, "If you actually tried being serious, you'd probably have a good voice". Soon after beginning to perform in musicals, she learned to play guitar and began playing and singing hymns during church services and at a nursing home every Saturday.

After high school, she left Macon to study at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. She graduated from Belmont in 2012.

In July 2012, while still a student, she recorded Torres over a five-day session at Tony Joe White's home studio in Franklin, Tennessee with engineer and producer, Ryan McFadden.

Bodegas Torres

Founded in 1870 by Jaime Torres, Bodegas Torres (Miguel Torres SA) is a historical wine growing company located in Pacs, some 4 km from Vilafranca del Penedès, where the company has its head office. Torres is the family winery with the most extensive vineyards in the Denomination of Origin (DO) of Penedès and the largest winery in Spain.

They also run the Miguel Torres Chile winery in the Chilean Central Valley, and in the United States (California) where in 1986 Marimar Torres founded Marimar Estate. In Spain outside of the Torres family's native Penedès region, they own vineyards in DO Conca de Barberà, DO Toro, DO Jumilla, DO Ribera del Duero, DOQ Priorat and most recently in DOC Rioja - in the last three areas with new wineries or wineries under construction. Likewise, Torres is also Spain's largest producer of DO wines under its own label, exporting to more than 140 countries.

Under the Torres brand name they trade wine and brandy under on a range of different labels. Some of these are Viña Sol, Sangre de Toro, De Casta, Coronas, Atrium and Viña Esmeralda, with their best known brandies being Torres 5 and Torres 10. Many Torres wines are produced from international rather than traditional Spanish grape varieties and are varietally labelled. The company exports wines to over 140 countries. Torres made two significant contributions to the development of enology in Spain: firstly, the use of fermentation at controlled temperatures, and secondly, the maturing of the wine in small oak barrels during a scrupulously defined time, as has been a habitual practice in Bordeaux.
