Don Miguel Torres Carbó arrived in Chile (from Spain) in 1979 and acquired a small winery in Curicó.

He was the first foreign firm to place faith in this viticultural paradise, before Chile became one of the most sought-after viticultural locations in the world.

What attracted him in particular to winemaking in Chile were the excellent climatic conditions in which to grow vines. Chile has well differentiated seasons with spectacular temperature shifts, greater even than 20ºC. The Andes Mountains have permafrost and the influence of the Humboldt Current play a decisive role in this "thermal leap." This sharp contrast between daytime and nighttimes temperatures have the potential to foment the best aromas within the grapes.

The absence of Phylloxera means that it is not necessary to graft vines onto American rootstock. Vines live longer in countries free of Phylloxera. The oldest viticultural traditions on the American continent. Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards. Later, in the 19th century they were re-planted with French varietals.

Between volcanoes and the Pacific Ocean. Torres represents a major presence in the viticultural paradise of South America. The most sophisticated winemaking goes hand-in-hand with the most traditional methods when it comes to making the wines.
