✨ Technical Specifications
Miguel Torres Chile’s 'Conde de Superunda' is a majestic tribute to the historical ties between Spain and Chile, named in honor of José Manso de Velasco, the Count of Superunda, who founded the city of Curicó in 1743. This flagship red blend represents a daring viticultural bridge, combining traditional Spanish varieties like Tempranillo and Monastrell with Chile's signature Carmenère and classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from select low-yielding vineyards in the stony soils of the Curicó Valley, the grapes undergo meticulous fermentation before spending close to two years maturing in new French oak barrels. The result is an intense, deeply structured wine of remarkable complexity, showcasing dark forest fruits, balsamic notes, toasted spices, and velvety, robust tannins that reflect both old-world heritage and new-world terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by brothers Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell, Familia Torres stands as one of Spain's most historically influential and forward-thinking wine dynasties. Spanning prime estates across Catalonia (Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre) as well as Rías Baixas and Ribera del Duero, the house negotiates a mosaic of terroirs—from maritime granitic soils in Galicia to high-elevation calcareous clay and slate in northeastern Spain. Viticulturally celebrated for pioneering the Torres & Earth climate program, co-founding International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), and advancing regenerative farming, the estate also champions the revival of pre-phylloxera ancestral varieties like Forcada. Vinification balances precise temperature control, native yeasts, and specialized aging vessels ranging from granite vats to traditional oak casks. Benchmarks such as Pazo Torre Penelas Blanco Granito, Sons de Prades, Forcada, and Esplendor Vardon Kennett reflect an unwavering commitment to site specificity, structural clarity, and sustainable viticultural excellence.
