Familia Torres Miguel Torres Chile Las Mulas Organic Pinot Noir Monastrell Rose Wine, 75 cl - Lot of 6

In 1979 the Torres family purchased 100 hectares of vineyard in Maquehua, San Francisco Norte and Cordillera, together with a winery in the Curico Valley. Miguel Torres brought with him his family's long tradition of wine-making and over 140 years of company history. The Chilean Central Valley has an ideal climate for top quality viticulture. This Phylloxera-free region is dominated by the presence of the Andes, their peaks crowned with permanent snow. The difference in temperatures between day and night provides the optimum conditions for development of the grapes and increases their ability to retain their finest aromas. Torres is proud to have been one of the first foreign companies to invest in and commit itself to this viticultural paradise. They were one of the first winemakers in Chile to use stainless steel and temperature controlled fermentation for their wines. Their landholding has gradually increased, and currently covers around 400 hectares which has been certified organic and Fair Trade in the Chilean Central Valley. Due to a long-term collaboration with local vine growers, Miguel Torres is currently the largest Fair Trade winery in Chile.
