Santa Rita Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

And purchased at:Tabacos y Vinos, Grupo Alefi, Ludwin Alvarez and Corvialsa.

Winemaker’s CommentsOur estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Alto Jahuel, located in Chile’s famous Maipo Valley, one of the finest wine-producing regions in the world. The result is an expressive ruby-red colored wine. Its aromas recall ripe, black fruit gracefully combined with vanilla, tobacco and cloves. The result is a medium bodied, balanced and pleasantly persistent wine.

Winemaker Andrés Ilabaca

Variety100% Cabernet Sauvignon

RegioMaipo Valley

Alcohol13.9 % vol

Climate & SoilSub-humid Mediterranean climate, with an annual average rainfall of 400 mm, concentrated in winter. Warm and dry summers, with great thermal oscillation between day and night. In this strip of land, located at the foothills of the Andes, night temperatures tend to be lower because of cold air that flows down from the mountains, causing a daily thermal oscillation that can exceed 20°C. The rocky subsoil ensures good drainage of rainwater and stimulates good root development.

VinificationFermented with selected yeasts at temperatures between 25° and 28°C for high color extraction at the beginning of the process. Followed by fermentation at a lower temperature so as to ensure a different extraction of the skin components. Long post maceration at low temperatures assured an adequate extraction for the ageing of the wine.

Aging60% of the wine was aged in a combination of American oak barrels for 8 months. The remaining 40% was aged exclusively in stainless steel vats until bottling.

Food PairingIdeal with red meats, pork, ripe cheese and pasta.

Also recommendedSanta Rita Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2008 known for its intense aroma of fragrant citrus and passion fruit with a herbaceous backdrop. On the palate, it is concentrated, with a pleasant acidity that highlights its freshness,firm structure and excellent persistence.

Temperance and faith is only a small part of Rengo’s rich history. The natural spirit of the place and its people is strongly tied to the various orders of priests that have undertaken their missions and spiritual exercises there. The Spanish spiritual crusade spread through the countryside, haciendas, and towns. The word that transmitted the mystery of faith was disseminated with the strength that brings with it the gift of deep conviction. The first church was erected in 1730, with simple architecture that included terracotta roof tiles, wood, and a bell tower of medium height. From then on, mass and prayer was multiplied to embrace Rengo and its people, anointing them with a mantle of faith and devotion.

Misiones de Rengo guarantees the highest standards of quality and efficiency to maintain an excellent price/quality ratio and to present products that guarantee high recognition and that represent the unparalleled fruit of the noble management of the Earth. Misiones de Rengo is the celebration of life and the incarnation of a plea that the land will continue to praise the sacred spirit of its fruits. Misiones de Rengo will satisfy, through their products, the most specific needs of their consumers.
