Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real 2021
Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Real originates from Chile, specifically from the Maipo Valley and the Alto Jahuel subregion. First launched in 1989, this label represents the 'icon' wine of Viña Santa Rita, one of Chile's most historic wineries. The winemaking philosophy for Casa Real focuses on capturing the unique character of the estate's oldest vineyards, producing a wine with profound aging potential that reflects the Mediterranean climate and gravelly alluvial soils of the Maipo Valley.
Wine Description
This red wine is a flagship expression of Chilean viticulture, typically displaying a deep and concentrated ruby colour. The sensory profile is elegant and multi layered, featuring an aromatic nose of blackcurrants, cherries, and plums, often accompanied by notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, it is full bodied and powerful yet refined, with a structural balance provided by firm, well integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, highlighting the fruit purity and mineral depth of the terroir.
Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is aged for approximately 16 to 20 months in new French oak barrels, a process that enhances its complexity and longevity while maintaining varietal focus.
ABV: Typically ranges between 14% and 14.5%.
Organic Status: While Santa Rita employs sustainable viticulture across its holdings, this icon wine is specifically focused on traditional, high quality production from ancient vine plots.
Food Pairing
The robust structure and intense fruit profile of Casa Real make it an ideal companion for high intensity, savoury dishes.
Meats: It pairs excellently with grilled ribeye steak, herb crusted rack of lamb, or roasted venison.
Savoury and Rich: Suggested pairings include beef Wellington or traditional hearty Chilean stews like 'cazuela'.
Cheese: Complements mature hard cheeses such as aged Manchego or extra old cheddar.
