✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the pioneering Chilean expansion of the legendary Spanish winemaking family Familia Torres, the Santa Digna Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to the historic stone crosses (Cruces de Santa Digna) that once marked the borders of land holdings and protected travelers in the Chilean countryside. Sourced from selected vineyards in the Central Valley, particularly benefiting from the cooling influences of the Andes and the Pacific, this wine is crafted to showcase the vibrant, pure expression of the varietal. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its aromatic intensity, it delivers a classic Chilean profile marked by bright citrus, tropical passion fruit, and fresh herbaceous notes, underpinned by a crisp, refreshing acidity.
🍾 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.
