Chile's finest winery, paired with the quintessential Chilean grape: Cabernet Sauvignon. This grape originates in the renowned Bordeaux region. However, it was in serious decline there. The average wine drinker considered Cabernet Sauvignon too harsh and was completely unpopular. By chance, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were planted in Chile by winemakers of European origin. Chile's perfect climate proved ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon: it is currently one of the most widely planted blue grape varieties in Chile. One sip of Santa Rita Heroes Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon immediately tells us why.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grape in the Central Valley
Santa Rita is one of Chile's oldest wineries, founded by Don Domingo Fernandez Concha in 1880. He drew inspiration from French viticulture, and this French influence is still evident in the wines today. Wine critics rave about the towering quality that Santa Rita imparts to its wines. Santa Rita stands for innovation, creativity, and purity—three aspects also found in this Cabernet Sauvignon. The grape vines are located in Central Valley. This region offers the best of both worlds: the protection of the Andes to the east and the cooling ocean to the west.
