Santa Rita 120 Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon

120 Cabernet Sauvignon is an intense purplish red in color, fruity aromas on the nose reminiscent of ripe red fruits such as cherry with hints of vanilla and tobacco coming from contact with oak. In the palate we find sweet and elegant tannins leaving a juicy and fresh finish.

The grapes were handpicked during the month of April. They were destemmed, crushed and cold macerated during 5 days for color extraction and fermented at 24°-28 °C (75°-82°F), 10% oak was used during fermentation to help set the color and stabilize the wines. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, 20% of the wine was aged in French oak for 3 months to lend sweetness and increase complexity.
