A single magnum of aptly named 1969 Cabernet Sauvignon.  This wine celebrates the history, tradition and awards given to Viña Santa Rita. A wine that specifically commemorates the three medals given by the International Wines & Spirits Competition during the 1980s. A tour of Chile, with the best representation of the different wine varietals our country has to offer. Grapes : Cabernet Sauvignon   Winemakers Comment: Very bright and lively red with violet hues in color. The very intense nose offers a combination of red fruit aromas recalling plum and raspberry with a light touch of vanilla, toffee and caramel developed as it aged in French and American oak. On the palate, the tannins are both friendly and potent, and the finish is long, fresh, and persistent. Tasting : The grapes are harvested in accordance with strict monitoring for ripeness and tasting the berries prior to harvest. Once picked, the grapes are transported to the cellar, destemmed, very gently crushed by rollers, and deposited directly to the fermentation tank. During fermentation, the must is controlled daily and temperatures are maintained at 25º–28°C, so that the fermentation and extraction are smooth and generate more volume in the palate. Once the alcoholic fermentation is over, we give way to spontaneous malolactic fermentation, seeking greater development of aromas and complexity in the palate. Then the different lots are blended, the new wine is aged with French and American oak and then bottled. Price: €29
