Our Vendimia Tardia is a wine made from Riesling grapes, originating from the Fundo San Francisco, in Molina, where they followed a process of over-ripening until they were harvested. Noble rot, also known as Botrytis, is the cause of this relative enrichment of the must in natural sugars. Over a period of weeks, Botrytis, or noble rot, sun dried & ennobled these grapes. This means that the wine made from them has accquired a beautiful old-gold colour, with an elegant & spirituous aroma. Dense & intriguing on the palate with a myriad of flavours reminiscent of honey, flowers & spices. The sweetness of Chile is concentrated into this exclusive & pioneering natural sweet wine, whose production is highly limited. Especially made for accompanying sweets & desserts. ...

The name Santa Digna was given to the crosses marking the district boundaries of a l&. These crosses served to delimit territories & symbolised good fortune & protection for those who were leaving for other climes. After several years of experimentation, the moment has come for us to present our first ever wine made from the Carmenere variety, enhanced with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon which adds structure & will give it a longer life. Savour it's beautiful cherry colour & its fine aromas (blackberries, cassis), with balsamic notes (eucalyptus) that culminate in a delicious hint of mandarin. The palate is elegant, with sweet & fruity tannins that deliver nuances of leather & spices (liquorice, black pepper, clove). Its ageing in French oak has given it a pleasant toasty & vanilla backdrop. Perfect with beef & 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. ...

Nearly 500 years ago, the first grapevine in Chilean history arrived, brought by brave men who struggled across rivers & mountains. This was a special vine: in Spain known as Listan Negro, in the colonies of the new world it was called Mision, & in Chile it would be known as ' Pais'. This varietal is cultivated in dry zones with humility, hard work, & dedication generally by small winegrowers who have passed their land from fathers to sons over several generations. In 1850 the first French vines were introduced to Chile, leaving the ' Pais' grape aside & later forgotten in time, with an uncertain future. The rescue of Chile's oldest grape varietal has produced Santa Digna Estelado, a unique sparkling wine, 100% Chilean, a reward for the land & its people. Pale rose colour, with fine & persistent bubbles. In the aroma, notes of fruit (red fruits & citrics) predominate. On the 0palate, fresh, lively, & genuine, characteristic of the ancestral varietal Pais. Santa Digna Estelado is made using the traditional method with the second fermentation in the bottle. The first sparkling rose made with the ' Pais' grape has a personality of its own. ...

The name Santa Digna was given to the crosses marking the district boundaries of a l&. These crosses served to delimit territories & symbolised good fortune & protection for those who were leaving for other climes. Since reaching Chile in 1979, we have conducted some interesting viticultural experiments with different grape varieties. One of these, Syrah, did not appear to really thrive in Curico so after a few years we tried planting it in Linares, 140 km further south. There, growing in poor, well-drained soils, Syrah provides low-yield but excellent harvests. After a long quest, we produced our first shiraz wine, with a small percentage of cabernet Sauvignon. This is an opulent wine, robust with a fine body & silky, rounded tannins. Highlights are its deep violet colour & notes of forest fruits: blackberry, violet & hints of blackcurrant. The palate is elegant with character. Ageing in French oak contributes a pleasing toasty background. The perfect accompaniment for pasta & seasoned sauces, roasted & grilled meats, & exotic dishes. ...
