Roberto Henríquez spent several years working in South Africa, Canada and France before going on to study agronomy and enology. In 2015 he moved back home to Biobío and began his own project based on the grape Pais, in part motivated by Louis Antoine Luyt. Quickly he got a lot of recognition due to his most important work in principle of recovering the traditional viticultre in the South of Chile, by obtaining a delicate rusticity in all his wines. Torontel is a grape that evolved from a natural cross of Moscatel de Alejandria and Pais. A white wine rich in spices and floral tones. This is an intense wine with tremendous body and acidity, with especially with firm, sharp tannins.
Torrontés is Argentina’s flagship white grape variety, celebrated for its intensely aromatic profile and crisp acidity. Though its exact origins remain debated, it is believed to be a natural cross between Criolla Chica (Mission grape) and Muscat of Alexandria, which explains its signature floral and fruity characteristics. The finest Torrontés wines come from high-altitude vineyards in Salta, particularly Cafayate, where cooler temperatures help retain freshness and enhance aromatics.
What makes Torrontés unique is its Muscat-like perfume, with notes of orange blossom, jasmine, rose petals, and honeysuckle, alongside flavors of ripe peach, apricot, citrus, and tropical fruit. Despite its sweet aroma, most Torrontés wines are dry, with bright acidity that balances the fruitiness.
This grape thrives in sunny, arid conditions, producing wines that are light-bodied, fresh, and food-friendly. It pairs well with spicy cuisine, seafood, and aromatic dishes, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy expressive, floral white wines.
Country
Chile
Chile has a long and rich wine history which dates back to the Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century, who were the first to discover that the wonderful climate and fertile soils of this South American country were ideal for vine cultivation. It has only been in the past forty or fifty years, however, that Chile as a modern wine producing nation has really had an impact on the rest of the world. Generally relatively cheap in price,Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.
