Red wine | Chile
Indulge in the captivating allure of Santa Carolina Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon, a Chilean masterpiece born in the esteemed Central Valley. This exceptional red wine embodies the rich winemaking heritage of Santa Carolina, a winery established in 1875 and celebrated for its commitment to quality and innovation.
This Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep ruby-red hue, inviting you to explore its complex aromas. On the nose, experience a symphony of ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of cedar and spice. These fragrances create an enticing bouquet that prepares the palate for the delightful journey ahead. The grapes are grown in the central valley, where the terroir is ideal for the production of this grape variety. After the harvest, the grapes are carefully selected and destemmed, and then fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature. The wine is aged in oak barrels, to give it the characteristic complexity.
On the palate, Santa Carolina Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a dry, medium-bodied character with a well-balanced structure. The juicy fruit flavors echo the aromas, while gentle tannins provide a smooth, velvety texture. Notes of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla add depth and complexity to the wine's profile, making it a truly satisfying experience. The finish is medium in length, leaving a pleasant and lingering impression.
Santa Carolina Reservado Cabernet Sauvignon is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of culinary creations. Its fruity and slightly spicy profile makes it an excellent companion to grilled meats, such as steak, lamb, or pork. It also complements hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, as well as mature cheeses like cheddar or gouda. For a more casual pairing, enjoy it with a gourmet burger or a selection of tapas. To fully appreciate its qualities, serve this wine at a temperature of 16°C. Allow the wine to breathe for a few minutes before savoring its flavors. This Cabernet Sauvignon is ready to drink now but can also be cellared for a few years, allowing it to develop further complexity and depth. It comes in a cork sealed bottle to keep the aromas for longer.
