Hailing from the historic Millapoa sector in the Nacimiento area of Chile's southern Bio-Bio region, this wine is a tribute to the country's viticultural origins. Made from ancient, dry-farmed, self-rooted País vines—some of which are over a century old—growing on the granitic banks of the Biobío River, this bottling represents a living history. Miguel Torres Chile has championed the revival of this ancestral variety, which was originally brought by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century. The wine is crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods, capturing the wild, rustic essence of the terroir with notes of fresh red berries, earthy spices, and wild herbs.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1870 by Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia, Familia Torres is one of Spain's most historic and influential wine dynasties. Under the pioneering leadership of fourth-generation patriarch Miguel A. Torres, the family revolutionized Spanish winemaking by introducing stainless steel fermentation and international varieties, while also expanding globally to Chile in 1979 with Miguel Torres Chile. Today, the estate is celebrated for its commitment to regenerative viticulture, climate change mitigation, and the recovery of ancestral grape varieties. Their diverse portfolio spans iconic Catalan labels like Gran Coronas to acclaimed Chilean expressions like Manso Velasco and the Santa Digna range, showcasing a masterful blend of traditional heritage and modern innovation.
