After 150 years & compiling Spain’s most impressive portfolio of real estate in the country – you’d think the Torres Family might rest on their laurels – but they’ve been on an ambitious tear of late. We’ve been happy to play a small part in the past year – offering their 95-point gold medal winning Albarino as well as their sensational 92-point, $15 Rioja. But, today’s offer is something new all together.
This one, from Drink International’s “Most Admired Brand in Europe” comes courtesy of South America, where the Torres Family forever changed the wine industry in Chile more than 40 years ago. For those keeping score, that’s a full decade ahead of the Rothschilds of Lafite with their Las Vascos investment.
When the family announced their intentions to build a wine program unlike any that had ever been built before in the history of Chile, few would have even been able to comprehend what they were dreaming up.
The winery was built, tucked away in the oasis that is Chile’s Central Valley on the West Coast between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. All of their wines are certified organic and vegan, but their dedication to the land and proper viticultural methods goes even further than virtually anybody else. The property has an array of free roaming animals that assist in the fertilization of the soil. Ducks, rodents, rabbits, horses and mules, and some larger predators that like to make the occasional visit.
The winery also keeps up with the rare Torres Family tradition of fair trade practices, becoming the first in the Southern hemisphere to do so. They were also the first to introduce stainless steel wine aging in the region as well as the introduction of French Oak, two fermentation techniques that forever changed Chilean wine.

Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
