✨ Technical Specifications
Miguel Torres Chile's Días de Verano (meaning 'Summer Days') is a vibrant homage to the sun-drenched, breezy coastal summers of southern Chile. Crafted in the historic Itata Valley within the Sur region, this wine is a celebration of Moscatel de Alejandría, one of the oldest grape varieties brought to the Americas by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century. For decades, these ancient, dry-farmed bush vines were overlooked, but the Torres family's commitment to reviving Chile's viticultural heritage has brought them back into the spotlight. Grown on ancient granitic soils and cooled by maritime breezes, the grapes undergo cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their intensely aromatic, floral, and grapey character, resulting in a wine that is wonderfully crisp, dry, and expressive.
🍾 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.
