Miguel Torres Escaleras de Empedrado Pinot Noir

More about the wine

This Pinot Noir from vines planted on schist terraces brings a whole new face to Maule. With a few years in bottle before release, this Pinot Noir shows more evolved tertiary notes of stewed red berries and leather but ultimately it’s a savoury, mineral wine with graphite and grip on the finish. The early vintages are promising, and I’m sure there’s a lot more to come from this special site.

 

More about the winery

Miguel Torres Chile winery is based in the heart of Curicó, a region which the Spanish vigneron came to in 1979. The Miguel Torres winery has been revolutionary in Chile for many reasons. Bringing the first stainless steel tanks with temperature control and the first French barrels to Chile in the 80s, it was ahead of its time then and continues to innovate today. In particular, Miguel Torres Chile has helped lead the renaissance of Chile’s ancient País variety.
