Viña Santa Carolina, one of Chile’s most historic wineries has opened its doors for visitors from Chile and abroad to allow them to see its historic site including the national monument cellars. Located in the Municipality of Macul, Santiago, the Winery Buildings and Underground Cellar of Viña Santa Carolina are considered one of the country’s most representative commercial agricultural constructions of their time.
This unique Syrah Reserva from Chile's Central Valley has an intense purple red colour. Blackberry and vanilla aromas are enhanced by sweet spicy notes and well integrated with the toasted oak character of the barrel. On the palate, this full-bodied wine has a velvety texture and soft tannins. Ripe fruit and chocolate flavours come forward on the palate, and the ripe tannins provide a long lingering finish. Aged for 7 months in small oak barrels it packs a whopping 14% by vol.
The name Santa Carolina was born from the great love its founder, Luis Pereyra Cotapos had for his wife, Carolina Iñiguez Vicuña. Luis Pereyra Cotapos invited to Chile a group of three French professionals, lead by the prestigious enologist Germain Bachelet, who sourced a selection of the noblest grapevines of the Bordeaux region in France. Together with their families, they established themselves in Chile and began the plantation and production at the new winery. In this way, grapevines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay were planted in the finest lands of the Central Valley of Chile.
This great tasting wine can be bought for only £6.50 and most definitely will not disappoint!
