The best wines are made by listening to nature. This is why, more tan 20 years ago, we picked the exceptional enclave of Fransola, a historical estate in one of the highest areas of thePenedès, to plant one of our most celebrated vineyards. Thecold nights and mild days provide an excellent winegrowing climate that produces exceptional Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are used to make this elegant and balanced wine.

The image of Santa Digna represents our identity at its purest, the fusion of prosperity and simplicity that defines our Chilean venture. Symbolizing the union of its origins (the cross of prosperity) and the Andean cross, the icon expresses our gratitude to the continent and culture which embraced us more than 30 years ago.

The voices of ancient people echo amongst old vines, songs of celebrations and festivities, of gratitude for the land and the Sun. Voices of our culture and our roots.

Miguel Torres, 5th generation, began making wines some years ago using the País variety. This variety, existing in almost total oblivion in Chile up until very recently, was the first variety cultivated in the country, and the origin of its winemaking history. Miguel Torres initiated a project aimed at restoring the variety’s value in the eyes of the world with the help of small winegrowers in the region and by obtaining the “Fair Trade” certificate.

M. A. Torres: “During the late 1970s, when we began making Rieslings, my father suggested we register the Waltraud brand in recognition of the work my wife had done in the German market.”
