Miguel Torres Santa Digna "Estelado" Sparkling Rose NV	91 Decanter If you are looking for a fairly traded sparkling wine in the world, there aren’t very many. Estelado is a rarity that ticks all the boxes: traditional method (12 months on lees); an ancestral variety, País; an alluring rosé color. It’s refreshing (7g/L residual sugar) with lively citrus and red fruit notes. Good value too. Well worth seeking out. ★★★ Washington Post País is the Chilean name for the mission grape, brought to the New World by Spanish missionaries and colonists in the mid-1500s. Recent DNA analysis identified it as listán prieto, an old Spanish variety. So it is perhaps fitting that this delightful, refreshing sparkling rosé is made by the Chilean outpost of Spain’s famous Torres winery. Bright flavors of red berries and wild herbs seem to carry history with them. Here’s an opportunity to taste wine from the first European vinifera grape variety planted in the Western Hemisphere. Forgive me, but all I am saying is give país a chance. Certified vegan and fair trade. ABV: 12 percent.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
