Backed by a history rooted in winemaking culture in Spain, Miguel Torres Chile arrived in the Curica Valley in 1979 after searching for a new location. On this journey, as well as finding excellent climatic conditions, the family has committed to innovating in wine production, incorporating stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels.

Today, Miguel Torres Chile also focuses its commitment on organic vine-growing and Fair Trade certification for various wines. These advances have helped the company to become more sustainable, and to implement several sustainable projects.

Miguel Torres Chile maintains the cornerstone concepts that have marked its history and production chain: Fair Trade, organic farming, and innovation.

The company has worked to recover traditional varieties almost forgotten in Chile, such as Pais, Carignan, and Muscat, using small suppliers from rainfed areas. Cordillera Carignan, Estelado Rose, Reserva de Pueblo, and Dias de Verano are among the products associated with this kind of project.

With a presence in more than 100 countries, the Miguel Torres Chile family winery has established itself over the past 30 years as one of the main producers of high-quality wines through its products identity, respect for the environment, and social responsibility.

In 2010, Miguel Torres Maczassek, from the fifth generation of the Torres Family, took over as company president in Chile, with aims such as increasing exports and ensuring the smooth operation of the winery.

The first estate acquired by Miguel Torres Chile was FUNDO MAQUEHUA (Curica Valley) in 1979. It is home to the production plant and aging cellars.

This 95-hectare estate, with stony land and good drainage, has particularly good conditions for growing red varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Vinification

Miguel Torres ndica is made under the vision of honouring the natural expression and biodiversity of the country that welcomed us 40 years ago. This certified 100% organic wine is made with the utmost respect for the Chilean ecosystems where we grow our grapes, from the north to Patagonia, with a sustainable approach to agriculture and aware of climate change.

16 days of maceration, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel withnative yeasts. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.

70% of the wine is aged in older French oak of third or more uses for 8 months.

Tasting Notes

Merlot is definitely a grape variety that has adapted to Chile with great success. Deep and intense red colour. Aromas of red berries, mixed with toasted notes from the French oak. Round and elegant tannins, sweet and intense mouth, fresh and balanced finish.

Drink with Korean style BBQ ribs or just any BBQ food.
