✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the fertile soils of Chile's Central Valley, Las Mulas Carmenere is a tribute to the hardworking mules that historically helped cultivate the rugged Andean foothills. Crafted by Miguel Torres Chile, this wine is made exclusively from certified organic vineyards, reflecting the family's deep commitment to environmental stewardship and regenerative agriculture. Carmenere, once lost to Europe during the phylloxera epidemic and famously rediscovered in Chile in the 1990s after being mistaken for Merlot, thrives in this Mediterranean climate. To preserve its vibrant fruit profile and varietal purity, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel, resulting in a classic expression that balances rich dark fruit with the grape's signature herbal and spicy nuances.
