Casa Real Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon

Casa Real, o vinho topo de linha da Santa Rita, é baseado em videiras dos anos 70, no vinhedo Carneros Viejo (70% do blend), mais o vinhedo Población, outro dos vinhedos históricos da Santa Rita em Maipo, plantado em 1974, todos na região de Alto Jahuel, aos pés dos Andes, no Alto Maipo. Além disso, este ano conta com algumas gotas (menos de 10%) de novos vinhedos plantados em 2015 com seleções massais de Carnero Viejo e também de Población. Tem 18 meses de envelhecimento em barricas, este ano com 70% de madeira nova, 12% menos que a safra anterior. De uma safra muito mais fresca no Vale Central, esta é uma versão suculenta e herbácea. Os taninos se apresentam finos e precisos, os sabores são frutados, profundos, a acidez se integra ao conjunto trazendo frescor, apoiando a fluidez que é a marca registrada deste ano. Um Casa Real clássico e uma das melhores safras que já provamos.

This red is tightly wound for now but should reward patience, as there's plenty of finesse to match its structure. Opens with subtle floral cassis, sandalwood and cigar box notes that join an elegant core of wild strawberry and Santa Rosa plum, while fresh acidity unlocks additional layers of licorice and dark chocolate. The tannin structure is precise and well-integrated, and this carries on with great length and presence. Best from 2026 through 2040. 2,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Ripe currants, pencil shavings, sweet tobacco leaves, cocoa powder and dusty spices. Creamy and almost full-bodied with polished, powdery tannins. Very long, even and complex. Plush and pretty hedonistic. Drink or hold.

Offers engaging aromas of floral raspberry, currant, red tea leaves and herbs, which segue to a palate showing generous mineral acidity and a concentrated yet creamy array of spice-inflected plum and berry accents. Finishes with broad-textured tannins and good length. Drink now through 2033. 2,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Densely flavored, but remarkably polished and elegant, this red unfolds around a core of raspberry coulis and rooibos tea flavors, swelling with energy midpalate and gaining details of floral cassis, and chai spices. Ends with tremendous length, displaying suave, well-integrated tannins and an echo of espresso bean. Drink now through 2028. 2,000 cases made, 80 cases imported.

Big and rich, with an unctuous blend of dark plum, cherry, tar and blackberry flavors that are supported by suave tannins and acidity. Pure and minerally midpalate, with a long finish that's filled with plush creaminess to the cardamom and clove accents. Drink now through 2028. 300 cases imported.
