Santa Rita 120 Cabernet Sauvignon, Central Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon ripens well in the Mediterranean climate of Chile’s Central Valley. The grapes are harvested by hand, before being crushed and fermented at a range of temperatures depending on the lot and sub-region. About a fifth of the wine was aged in oak for eight months, to build complexity and structure on the palate; shows lovely ripe red and black fruit flavours, backed with notes of clove and vanilla.

The Country
Chile
A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
