Torres Santa Digna Chardonnay

Torres Santa Digna Chardonnay

This Chardonnay has a subtle and delicate yellow color with greenish hints, stand out in ripe and tropical fruits, reminiscent of fruits such as mango, apricot, and fresh citrus notes. On the palate it presents a great balance between mouthfeel and acidity, presenting a long, fresh and delicate finish, a great wine to enjoy.

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.

The 2020-2021 vintage began with a calm winter, temperatures somewhat higher than the previous vintage. In spring, frosts appear in the month of October that lowered the yields in some varieties of vineyards in the foothills of the Andes mountain range in the Curico and Maule valley. The summer was cool with around 1.5 to 2 ° C lower than normal and at the end of January there were rains that kept us alert to avoid fungi such as botrytis.
The 2021 vintage is considered cold, achieving a slow maturity with good acidity, moderate alcohols. A vintage where the most benefited grapes were those of the coastal dry land
