Torres Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon
Ruby colour with fiery reflections. Exquisite varietal aroma over rich hints of leather and liquorice. Silky tannins on the palate and an elegant finish.
Santa Digna was the name of the wayside crosses at a property in Spain. These crosses were used to mark boundaries, symbolizing good luck and protection for those setting out for remote lands. They were also used to name Miguel Torres first property in Chile and the first wine produced from this land. Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon achieves optimum varietal expression in the cool Central Valley Climate.

Properly stored, the wine will hold its potential for the next: 5 years The 2018-2019 season was quite benign except for the continuation of the mega drought that has afflicted Chile in recent years. Particularly in the southern zone, spring frosts were recorded that decreased production and delayed the phenological stages of the plants.

Miguel Torres Chile is a Chilean winery that was founded in Curicó, in 1979, by the Spanish family company Miguel Torres. In its 230 hectares (570 acres), the Viña Santa Digna vineyard cultivates the varieties Sauvignon blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay (for their white wines) and Cabernet sauvignon (for their red and rosé wines). To a lesser extent they also cultivate Pinot noir, which contributes to the cuvee of a brut sparkling wine.
