Floresta Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Floresta Cabernet Sauvignon originates from Chile, specifically from the Maipo Valley region and the Alto Jahuel subregion. Founded in 1880 by Don Domingo Fernández Concha, Viña Santa Rita is one of Chile's most historic and pioneering wineries. The winemaking philosophy for the Floresta line, led by winemaker Sebastián Labbé, emphasizes a modern, high altitude expression of terroir that focuses on elegance and structural precision. The grapes are sourced from the Los Ratones mountain range at an altitude of 637 metres, where rocky, colluvial soils with low clay content mimic the ideal conditions of the Médoc.
Wine Description
This red wine displays an intense and deep ruby red colour with dark reflections. The sensory profile is complex and layered, featuring an aromatic nose of ripe raspberry, cherry, and blackberry, interwoven with savoury notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and herbal hints of thyme or oregano. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied and well balanced, delivering a fresh and juicy texture with firm, grippy tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is long, persistent, and concentrated, often showing mineral nuances of gravel and tar.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its restrained and elegant style, achieved through spontaneous fermentation and ageing in used French oak barriques to ensure the wood is well integrated and does not overwhelm the fruit.
ABV: Typically recorded between 13.5% and 14%.
Organic Status: Not specified as organic.
Food Pairing
The firm structure and vibrant acidity of Floresta Cabernet Sauvignon make it an ideal partner for savoury and protein rich dishes.
Meats: It pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, fine steaks, and traditional Chilean dishes like chili con carne.
Savoury Fare: Suggested pairings include beef tacos or gourmet burgers topped with aromatic cheeses.
Vegetarian: Complements meaty Portobello mushrooms, fire roasted vegetables, or a rich wild mushroom risotto.
