Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon 120

Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon 120

Still wine

Vintage: 2002
Description: Brilliant ruby red colour. An intense bouquet developed through a combination of mature red fruits and plums and vanilla tones with a fine toast from the barrels. Medium body, a fine structure and a nice ending characterise this wine. Wine maker notes Temperature-controlled vinification, followed by a period of aging. 90% of the wine spends 8 months in stainless steel tanks, with the balance matured in oak barrels prior to blending, bottling and release. Technical notes 13.7% abv. Food pairing An ideal match for red meats, pork, spicy sauces and cheese soufflés. Producer Heritage and enterprise are hallmarks of Santa Rita, one of Chile's premier wine estates. Founded in 1880 in Chile's Maipo Valley, this historic property was among the first to pioneer plantings of European grape varieties in Chile. In 1980, it was acquired by its present owner, Gruppo Claro, under whom Santa Rita has reaped the rewards of continuous investment, resulting in a period of impressive growth, during which the winery has consolidated its position in the vanguard of Chile's most successful and innovative estates. Initiatives include the highly successful launch of Santa Rita's 120 Series and Reserve wines and a range of ultra-premium wines, notably the highly acclaimed Casa Real, Triple C, the Floresta range and most recently, Pehuen. Wide-ranging enhancements include the purchase of choice new vineyards, plantings with top quality clones, improved trellising and irrigation, balanced viticulture, restricted yields, later harvesting, individual block farming, small-lot vinification, and an increased emphasis on sustainable agriculture. The Santa Rita property accounts for outstanding vineyards in Chile's most important appellations -- the Maipo Valley; Apalta; Casablanca; Rapel; Leyda and Curico -- enabling access to diverse climates and terrain. Visitors to Santa Rita can look forward to accommodation at the estate's luxury hotel, the Casa Real, with its breathtaking 100-acre gardens, its magnificent museum housing a breathtaking collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, or enjoy dinner at the property's landmark restaurant, the Dona Paula.
