Miguel Torres Santa Digna Syrah is a bold and complex red wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Colchagua Valley in Chile. This wine takes advantage of the ideal climate and soil conditions to create a rich and expressive wine that is perfect for any occasion. With its deep violet color, this wine offers a bouquet of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, followed by notes of toasted oak and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with smooth tannins and a long finish. This well-balanced wine pairs excellently with roasted meats, game, and flavorful cheeses, making it a great addition to any meal or celebration.

Tasting Notes

Since reaching Chile in 1979, we have conducted some interesting viticultural experiments with different grape varieties. One of these, Shiraz, did not appear to really thrive in Curicó so after a few years we tried planting it in Linares, 140 km further south. There, growing in poor, well-drained soils, Shiraz provides low-yield but excellent harvests. Enjoy its intense, purple colour and its aroma with hints of small black fruits, violet and redcurrant.
