Floresta Cabernet Sauvignon: Viña Santa Rita's Premium Chilean Red

The Floresta Cabernet Sauvignon by Viña Santa Rita represents the pinnacle of Chilean winemaking, hailing from the revered Alto Jahuel sub-region of the Maipo Valley. Often likened to Bordeaux for its focus on Cabernet Sauvignon, the high-altitude, rocky terroir delivers a wine of exceptional structure, freshness, and longevity. This is a serious, cellar-worthy wine for the connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

A sophisticated and powerful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that beautifully marries New World fruit intensity with Old World finesse.

• Appearance: Deep garnet red.
• Nose: Complex and aromatic, featuring concentrated dark fruits like blackcurrant, cassis, and plum, intertwined with elegant nuances of tobacco, pencil lead (graphite), and a refreshing touch of minty eucalyptus.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated. The texture is fine and seamless, supported by well-defined, yet silky, tannins. The wine maintains a vibrant acidity that lifts the rich fruit, leading to a long, memorable finish.

Food Pairing & Ideal Serve

Best served following a slight decanting, allowing the wine to breathe and reveal its full aromatic spectrum. Serve at 16-18°C.

• Ideal Pairings: Traditional Roast Beef with all the trimmings, a classic Steak and Kidney Pie, or slow-cooked Venison Stew.
