✨ Technical Specifications
Miguel Torres Chile’s Estelado Brut Rosé is a groundbreaking sparkling wine that single-handedly helped revitalize Chile’s oldest and most neglected grape variety, País. Brought to South America by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century, País had fallen out of favor, relegated to cheap table wines. In a visionary project alongside local universities, Miguel Torres sought to rescue this historic grape and support small-scale heritage farmers in the Secano Interior. Crafted using the traditional method with a second fermentation in the bottle, Estelado showcases the unexpected elegance of País. The name 'Estelado' pays homage to the brilliant, star-filled night skies over the vineyards of Maule, reflecting a wine that is both deeply rooted in Chilean history and sparkling with modern innovation.
🍾 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.
