FUNDO EMPEDRADO was added to the company’s properties in the year 2003. Located near Constitución, 180 kilometers south of Curicó.

This 369-hectare estate is the result of years searching for slate soils, known as “piedra laja” in Chile and “licorella” in Catalonia. The unique feature of this kind of stone is that it allows very good drainage and accumulates solar radiation, maintaining a warm mesoclimate (due to its black color).

After several years of research in the Empedrado area, it was decided to produce a special, unique Pinot Noir. Never before had a vinestock been planted in this kind of ground in Chile, which makes it particularly interesting.

The land is very rough, with incredibly steep slopes, so it is prepared using terraces so the vines can be planted. As a result, it produces low yields with a high concentration.

Millapoa is a historic municipality located in the Catiray Valley, around 20 km north of the town of Nacimiento, in the Biobio Region. Its name has its origins in the Mapudungun language and means ‘golden belly’.
Located on the banks of the Biob o River, opposite the mouth of the Huaqui River, Millapoa became very important thanks to the transport of local raw materials to other cities in Chile. The wine that was produced in the area was usually transported in foudres made from raulí wood that were floated downriver to reach Concepción.
This is the grand setting where Miguel Torres Chile is bringing one of its most interesting projects to life that is loyal to one of the fundamental focuses, recovering ancient grape varieties and promoting and developing the work done by small vine-growers.
