General Information
Santa Digna Chardonnay 2024 is the most iconic white wine of the Santa Digna collection, a brand with which the Torres family began their journey in Chile. A line named in reference to the stone crosses used to mark lands and invoke their protection and prosperity.
The French chardonnay variety finds the ideal conditions to develop great aromatic complexity in the soils of Fundo Maquehua, acquired by Miguel Torres Chile in 1979. Santa Digna Chardonnay 2024 showcases all this potential in a wine that also stands out for bearing the Fair Trade seal, certifying it as a fair trade product. Enjoy it alongside baked fish and white meats, especially turkey and chicken in creamy sauces.
Tasting notes
Santa Digna Chardonnay is a bright pale yellow wine with greenish hues.
On the nose, it features dominant aromas of mango and apricot, with citrus nuances.
On the palate, it stands out for its great balance between density and acidity, with a fresh, long, and delicate finish. Very fruity aftertaste.
