Miguel Torres Cordillera Sauvignon Blanc Chile 2017
Straw colored wine with yellow tints. On the nose it shows a subtle and complex amalgam of passion fruits, and hints of herbs, citrus fruits and guava making it very elegant. In the mouth it is fresh, sharp, with a very present acidity that gives way to a full aftertaste, which covers the entire mouth. It is an incomparable expression of Sauvignon Blanc from a new terroir such as Osorno.
The Osorno Valley at the northern end of Chilean Patagonia between the Bueno River and the Pacific Ocean, es home to an extraordinary terraced vineyard with volcanic soils. Carved into the northern foothills of the Cordillera de la Costa, it invites us to discover a distinctly original wine, offering the finest expression of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc we have encountered so far.

In 1979 Miguel Torres was the first foreign wine producer to become established in Chile, Curicó Valley. The Torres Family chose the country as the perfect location for their grape and winegrowing activity based on its excellent conditions for developing the industry. But the winery did not rely only on Chile’s excellent climatic conditions. Miguel Torres Chile was the first to introduce new technologies in wine production, such as fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. Miguel Torres is still innovative today and producing very good consistent wines at all levels.
