Product Notes

Santa Rita Casa Real Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant Chilean wine offering a harmonious blend of succulent dark fruit flavours, fine tannins, and sophisticated undertones of oak. The ruby-red colour holds an enticing bouquet of blackcurrants, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, it has a robust structure and long, complex finish. This wine's exquisite balance reflects the cool climate of Maipo Valley vineyards from which it originates. True to its vintage heritage, Santa Rita Casa Real is perfect for the discerning eonophile appreciating a richness of character and an impeccable full-bodied structure.

Tasting Notes

It was without a doubt a year of climatic contrasts that did not predict quality, but a deep knowledge of this little piece of terroir that is home to this old-vine Cabernet gave rise to an extraordinary wine with tannic force but great elegance and balance at the same time. It is bright, expressive, and fresh, with a backdrop of the ripe fruits and spices characteristic of the location. Its concentration and balance ensure tremendous aging potential.
