Santa Rita TRIPLE C Maipo Valley Chile

Winemaker's Comments : All vineyards are planted in vertical shoot position in order to obtain good sunlight exposure and airing. The crop is restricted to 7-8 ton/ha so as to get concentrated grapes. During the season, irrigation becomes a critical factor for this variety since it is very sensitive to water stress. The idea is to reduce water availability down to pea size to produce medium size berries and vigor control, then allowing the roots to feed the plant with enough water for good ripening, without any excess, while keeping a small growth of leaves at the tip of the shoots. (12 x 75 cl)

Winemaker's Comments : Concerning the concept of Terroir, the 1999 harvest of Casa Real has undoubtedly achieved the ultimate expression of a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The grapes were vinified with the intention of obtaining a full-extraction wine, resulting in a high concentration of rich fruit and tannins. Casa Real is without a doubt a sophisticated and complex wine. The delicious taste of mature fruits like plums and black currants mesh with hints of leather, tobacco, vanilla and the aroma of cloves, gained from having spent 14 months in new French oak. By definition, a classic of excellence. Decanting before serving is suggested. (6 x 75 cl)

Winemaker's Comments : Intense ruby-red colour, with a complex aroma of mature red fruits and black berries from de wood with a light menthol tone and characters of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate this is a concentrated wine with body, with a good level of tannins so that a long conservation in the bottle could be achieved. (12 x 75 cl)
