Santa Digna Carmenere Reserve 2006
Miguel Torres
Central Valley, Chile
After several years of experimentation, the moment has come for us to present our first ever wine made from the Carmenère variety, enhanced with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon which adds structure and will give it a longer life.
Wine and Food
Perfect with beef and veal, as well as with Chilean chicken stew. It rises well to every challenge, from fish (tasty conger chowder, the subject of an ode by Neruda!) to spicy sauces.
Tasting Notes
Enjoy its beautiful cherry colour and its fine aromas (blackberries, cassis), with balsamic notes (eucalyptus) that culminate in a delicious hint of mandarin. The palate is elegant, with sweet and fruity tannins that deliver nuances of leather and spices (liquorice, black pepper, clove). Its ageing in French oak has given it a pleasant toasty and vanilla backdrop.
