Estelado Sparkling Rose by Torres Chile

Estelado Sparkling Rose

Pale pink color highlighting the fine, persistent mousse. Fruity notes (red and citrus fruits) predominate on the nose, while the wine’s fresh, wild character on the palate is typical of the age-old País variety.

Award winning blush sparkling wine, traditional method with second fermentation in bottle. Miguel Torres recovers from the past Chile’s oldest grape varietal. Grown by a large number of small farmers, the varietal ‘País’ was long forgotten and undervalued until it was recently rediscovered for making top quality wines. Each bottle of sparkling ‘País’ consumed helps to create demand and, as a result, better conditions for the winegrowers of Chile.

Torres’ concern for the environment has led to a continual process of research and development both in the vineyard and the winery, with modern organic methods being used in their Chilean vineyards. This has led to a vast amount of work being done with the Pais grape; once the most planted and important grape in Chile, with one of the longest viticultural histories. In conjunction with the University of Talca and the Chilean government, Torres Chile have been working with vineyard owners and growers to improve fruit quality, garner fair market prices for their produce and develop poorer communities that grow the grapes. What they have producedis a much-lauded rose sparkling wine called ‘Estelado’, which has been given International Fair Trade Certification.
