Miguel Torres Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2023
From the pioneering Miguel Torres Chile in Valle Central, the Santa Digna Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva 2023 is a refined red showcasing Chile’s terroir.

Aged 6 months in French oak barrels, it offers a deep ruby hue and vibrant complexity, certified Fairtrade.
Winemaking Process
Torres’ innovative approach defines this wine. The 2023 vintage undergoes careful selection and gentle crushing, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Aging for 6 months in French oak barrels enhances its structure, creating a balanced, aromatic wine with silky tannins and a long, fruit-driven finish.
