Hailing from the Central Valley of Chile, the Santa Digna range by Miguel Torres Chile pays homage to the traditional stone crosses (Santa Digna) that historically marked the boundaries of estates, serving as symbols of protection and fortune for travelers. As pioneers who revolutionized Chilean viticulture in 1979 by introducing stainless steel tanks and temperature-controlled fermentation, the Torres family crafted this Cabernet Sauvignon to showcase the pure, vibrant fruit expression of the region. The wine is produced under Fair Trade certification, reflecting a deep commitment to social and environmental sustainability. It undergoes traditional fermentation followed by partial aging in French oak barrels to impart subtle structure and spice while preserving its characteristic dark berry and balsamic notes.
