varietal Santa Digna Merlot Gran Reserva of Miguel Torres Chile has its home in the beautiful Chilean cultivation area Valle Central.
In the glass, this wine shimmers in an intense red with violet accents. The bouquet is characterized by intense aromas of juicy plums and plums and spicy notes of vanilla and liquorice. The aromatic fullness of this red wine is also wonderfully expressed on the palate. The present tannin structure harmonizes wonderfully with the spicy fruit and accompanies into the long finale.
In Chile, the crossroads that marked the transition from urban to rural areas were called Santa Digna. They acted as a kind of boundary stone that represented the symbol of growth and prosperity and promised all protection that moved from one area to another.
