✨ Technical Specifications
Miguel Torres Chile was a pioneer in exploring the diverse terroirs of the country, and the Cordillera range is specifically crafted to showcase the relationship between noble grape varieties and Chile's unique valleys. For this Syrah, the grapes are sourced from the stony, well-drained soils of the Aconcagua Valley, nestled near the foothills of the Andes. Here, the dramatic thermal oscillation between sun-drenched days and cold mountain nights slows the ripening process, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromatic complexity and preserve their natural acidity. Aged carefully in French oak barrels, this wine beautifully marries the intense dark fruit and signature black pepper spice of the variety with a refined, mineral-driven structure that reflects its rugged mountain origin.
