Hand-harvested grapes are sourced from a number of vineyard sites throughout Chile's Central Valley to make this lively and juicy Carmenère. The palate has a supple texture with ripe tannins, extracted by pumping over during fermentation, and bright, brambly fruit and subtle notes of spice.

Santa Rita 120 Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
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.
