Santa Rita 120 Reserva Especial Red Blend

120 CCC is a deep, dark ruby-red color that features blueberry, plum and Cassis fruit aromas along with spices and vanilla, coffee and tobacco notes from the barrel-aging. The palate has a sweet attack and evolution, with good volume, depth, and a fruity finish that leaves a refreshing mouthfeel.
Serve with pasta dishes with meat or black pepper sauce, grilled or stewed red meats, pork and cheese.

Grapes are handpicked in April and cold-soaked for 5 days maximize color extraction. The must was fermented at 26°–28°C, according to the batch and zone. Post-fermentation maceration was carried out to enhance complexity and round out the wine. 20% of the wine was aged in French oak for 4 months to enhance sweetness and complexity. Each variety was kept separate throughout the process, seeking to make the highest quality blend possible.
