✨ Technical Specifications
The Santa Digna range from Miguel Torres Chile is named after the historic stone crosses that marked the borders of Chilean estates, serving as symbols of protection and fortune for travelers. This Gewurztraminer is a vibrant expression of the variety grown in the Central Valley, where cool night breezes from the Andes help retain the grape's signature aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Crafted under Fair Trade certification, the wine is fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate, highly expressive floral and tropical fruit profile, showcasing the Torres family's commitment to both ecological sustainability and varietal purity in the New World.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1870 by brothers Jaime and Miguel Torres Vendrell, Familia Torres stands as one of Spain's most historically influential and forward-thinking wine dynasties. Spanning prime estates across Catalonia (Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, and Costers del Segre) as well as Rías Baixas and Ribera del Duero, the house negotiates a mosaic of terroirs—from maritime granitic soils in Galicia to high-elevation calcareous clay and slate in northeastern Spain. Viticulturally celebrated for pioneering the Torres & Earth climate program, co-founding International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), and advancing regenerative farming, the estate also champions the revival of pre-phylloxera ancestral varieties like Forcada. Vinification balances precise temperature control, native yeasts, and specialized aging vessels ranging from granite vats to traditional oak casks. Benchmarks such as Pazo Torre Penelas Blanco Granito, Sons de Prades, Forcada, and Esplendor Vardon Kennett reflect an unwavering commitment to site specificity, structural clarity, and sustainable viticultural excellence.
