✨ Technical Specifications
Born from a spirit of exploration and a desire to rescue Chile's viticultural heritage, Los Inquietos (The Restless Ones) is an artisanal project by Miguel Torres Chile. This first edition, 01, focuses on dry-farmed, head-trained old Malbec vines from the historic Maule Valley within the broader Central Valley. These ancient, non-irrigated vineyards yield low quantities of highly concentrated fruit. The winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention, utilizing native yeasts and aging in neutral oak to preserve the raw, vibrant energy of the terroir. The result is a wine that bridges the gap between Chile's rustic past and its modern, terroir-driven future, telling a story of resilience and restless curiosity.
🍾 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.
