More information
Awarded ‘Chilean Winery of the Year’ 11 times, Santa Rita is something of a legend. It was founded in 1880, so is one of Chile’s earliest cellars. Today, it’s still regarded as one of the finest, producing the Casa Real wines – iconic releases put on the same pedestal as Bordeaux First Growths. Andrés Ilabaca is the talented winemaker, and in Santa Rita’s Reserva range his aim is to express the characteristic aromas and flavours of each variety with complexity, elegance and balance. This delicious (and for a good cause) Chardonnay is bursting with ripe peach and citrus character. Part fermented in oak, subtle spice running through shows a skilled hand. Serve this classic New World Chardonnay with chicken, seared salmon or creamy risotto.
