ABOUT THIS WINE
Finca Negra Special Selection is crafted by Miguel Torres Chile, a pioneering estate established in 1979 by the historic Spanish winemaking family, Familia Torres. This wine showcases the exceptional terroir of the Colchagua Valley, a region highly celebrated for producing world-class, full-bodied red wines. A key highlight of this bottling is its origin from ungrafted old vines. Because Chile's natural geographic barriers protected it from the devastating phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century, these vines grow on their own original rootstocks, yielding fruit of remarkable concentration, balance, and historical authenticity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from selected old-vine parcels in the Colchagua Valley. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit undergoes careful destemming and crushing. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant primary fruit characteristics of the Carmenère, Cabernet, and Syrah. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels to soften the tannins, integrate the structure, and impart subtle sweet spice and toasted complexities before final blending and bottling.
