Santa Rita 120 Merlot is a delightful Chilean red wine, rich in lustrous, ruby hues. Its enchanting aroma is an intoxicating blend of fruits and herbs, most notably plum, raspberry, and strawberries, which pair flawlessly with an earthy hint of thyme. On the palate, this medium-bodied merlot charms with sophistications of smooth tannins, rounding off with a pleasingly persistent finish. Aged expertly in oak barrels, it beholds layers of complexity and delivers an extraordinary balance of fruitiness and structure. Santa Rita 120 Merlot wine is a true testament to the excellence of Santa Rita winemaking techniques.

About the Winery

Santa Rita

Just a short distance from Chile's bustling capital, Santiago, lies the celebrated Santa Rita Winery. Overlooking the winding Maipo River in Maule Valley, Santa Rita Winery's verdant vineyards have basked in the Chilean sun for more than 135 years. Nestled amidst broad lawns and aged, exotic trees, the winery produces some of the most exemplary wines on an international scale.

The winery's far-reaching success can be attributed to the perfect blend of deep-rooted tradition, innovation and sustainability. The diverse characteristic of the region, dappled with unique micro-climates, allows Santa Rita to foster a myriad of different grape varieties. The varieties range from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to the distinctly Chilean Carmenere. With due respect to the indigenous Mapuche culture, the vineyards are named after the Mapuche harbingers, symbolising the ever-present harmony between the winery and its coveted land.
