Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon

Price per 75cl: £8.99, Cabernet Sauvignon - Red Chilean WineA ripe full bodied wine with concentrated blackcurrant fruit flavour, dark chocolate notes on the long velvety finish. This wine is a great match with grilled steak, roasted lamb and tomato based pasta dishes. The grapes were grown in Chiles Rapel Valley, an area with a long tradition of winemaking. The region has clearly defined seasons with cool, rainy winters and long warm summers with high daytime temperatures, moderated by cool nights. This allows the grapes to slowly ripen and develop complex flavours. Santa Carolina has been a pioneer of Chilean wine since 1875 when Luis Pereyra Cotapos founded the winery, which he named after his wife.
