Torres Chile - Santa Digna Estelado Rose NV 75cl Bottle

Product Description

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.
