As Viña Santa Rita's celebrated 'Icon' wine, the Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maipo Valley is a definitive statement of Chilean luxury. Only produced when the vintage quality meets the highest standards, this wine sets the benchmark for New World Cabernet, offering a refined structure and complexity that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Profile

The wine presents an intense, deep ruby hue, revealing a highly sophisticated and layered nose:

• Nose: Classic Cabernet notes of cassis, blackcurrant, and dark cherry mingle with elegant tertiary notes of cedar, fine tobacco leaf, and a hint of graphite.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced. The concentrated dark fruit is framed by a powerful, yet polished, tannic structure. A fresh acidity maintains tension throughout, leading to an outstandingly long and memorable finish. This is a wine built for the cellar.

Food Pairing & Decanting

To fully appreciate its depth, we strongly recommend decanting this wine for two hours. Serve at 17-18°C (62-64°F).

• Pairing: An exceptional match for a traditional Sunday Roast Beef with all the trimmings, slow-cooked lamb shanks, or a selection of mature British cheeses.
