Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2018 - Miguel Torres Chile

The Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva from Miguel Torres Chile is a wonderful red wine from the Chilean wine-growing region Valle Central.

In the glass this wine shimmers in a deep ruby red which reflects garnet red to tan. This Chilean red wine spoils with a typical bouquet of dark berries (ripe black currants, blackberries), underlaid with spicy liquorice notes. Also on the palate the dark fruit fullness with the fine spice is present. The elegant tannins harmonise wonderfully with the silky texture. The finish has a beautiful length.

In Chile, the crossroads that marked the transition from urban to rural were called Santa Digna. They acted as a kind of boundary stone, symbolizing growth and prosperity, promising protection to all who moved from one area to another.
