Product description
Introduction
This expressive red wine is produced in Chile, primarily sourced from the Leyda Valley with a portion from the Casablanca Valley within the broader Central Valley region. Founded in 1880 by Don Domingo Fernández Concha, Viña Santa Rita is one of Chile's oldest and most historic estates, once serving as a refuge for 120 soldiers during the Chilean War of Independence. Today, the winery is part of Grupo Claro and operates under the expert guidance of winemaker Sebastián Labbé, following a philosophy that blends deep heritage with a modern focus on sustainability and technical innovation.
Wine Description
The Santa Rita Secret Reserve Pinot Noir presents a moderately intense violet-red colour with brilliant clarity. The nose is aromatic and complex, revealing notes of raspberries, cherries, and fresh flowers, complemented by sweet undertones of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of clove from aging in French oak. On the palate, the wine is silky and medium-bodied, showcasing juicy red fruit flavours like strawberry and pomegranate alongside subtle hints of roasted coffee and spice.
Stylistically, this wine is designed for balance and freshness, featuring a refreshing acidity and smooth, fine-grained tannins that make it very approachable. The finish is long and polished with a succulent fruit profile.
