Santa Digna Merlot Gran Reserva 2018 - Miguel Torres Chile
The pure variety Santa Digna Merlot Gran Reserva from 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. Also on the palate the aromatic fullness comes to the fore with this red wine. The present tannin structure harmonises wonderfully with the spicy fruit and accompanies the long finish.
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.
