Santa Rita Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon – Maipo Valley – Red – 2017:

 

The Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon is Viña Santa Rita’s flagship wine and a true icon of Chilean winemaking, hailing from the prestigious Alto Maipo Valley. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Cabernet Sauvignon is consistently recognized for its classic structure, remarkable elegance, and age-worthiness, drawing comparisons to the finest Left Bank Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes

Displaying a deep, intense ruby red color, Casa Real delivers a powerful yet refined aromatic experience:

• Nose: An engagingly complex bouquet of pure cassis, black cherry, and plum, beautifully complemented by sophisticated layers of cedar, sweet tobacco, graphite, and subtle spices.
• Palate: The palate is concentrated and focused, yet remarkably seamless. It boasts a core of dark, savory fruit supported by fine-grained, chalky tannins and a vibrant acidity. The wine avoids heaviness, delivering precision and a creamy, lengthy, and persistent finish.

Pairing & Serving

This is an investment-grade wine designed for special occasions. Decant for a minimum of two hours and serve at 62-64°F (17-18°C).

• Pairing: The perfect partner for a Prime Rib Roast, a decadent Beef Wellington, or a perfectly grilled Ribeye Steak with an herb crust.
