Winemaker Notes
Ideal with red meats, savory pastries and mixed grills.
The name Las Mulas pays homage to the animals (mules) without which this wine would not exist. This singular wine is made with the finest organic grapes grown in the poorest soils from Miguel Torres' vineyards in Chile. With Las Mulas, we go back to the past to rediscover ancient ecological techniques: vineyards harvested by hand with no chemicals or pesticides which can interfere in the natural process. We rediscover the natural state where the vine grows alongside various plants and insects creating a balanced ecosystem. In Chile, before the mechanization of the vineyards, mules were commonly put to work. The name Las Mulas ("The Mules") is meant to reflect the hard work that goes into our wines while alluding to the fact that we avoid fertile soils in order to obtain the maximum expression.

Miguel Torres Chile was founded in 1979 by Familia Torres, who has produced wine in Spain for over 150 years. Being the first foreign winery to establish itself in Chile, Miguel Torres introduced in the country the use of stainless-steel tanks in fermentation and French oak barrels for the aging, technologies that opened a new horizon for the Chilean wine industry. The pioneering spirit of Miguel Torres Chile is more alive than ever guiding projects such as Estelado, the first sparkling wine made with Pais grape which led the rescue of traditional but forgotten varieties, or ¨Empedrado¨, first Pinot Noir from slate soil in Chile and one of the most challenging projects of the winery. From the North down to the Patagonia, Miguel Torres Chile seeks for the best terroirs where every growing region has its own stamp on the wines. Miguel Torres Chile is actively committed to the environment and to the people; all its vineyards are certified organic, and it is one of the biggest wineries certified with Fair Trade. Today, Miguel Torres is leading the recovery of ancestral varieties from the South of Chile, rescuing a unique heritage of the traditional winemaking.
