Santa Rita Medalla Real Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
|
 Heritage and enterprise are hallmarks of Santa Rita, one of Chile’s
premier wine estates. Founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernandez 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 late owner, Ricardo Claro, under whom Santa Rita 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.
Grapes for Santa Rita’s Medalla Real wines are hand-harvested at
optimal ripeness from the estates best and oldest vines. Intense fruit
and a judicious use of French oak in the Cabernet Sauvignon and
Chardonnay result in complex and concentrated wines that are
simultaneously elegant and classical in style.
