    Producer

    Casa Real Reserva Especial is the flagship wine of Viña Santa Rita, born from the romantic heritage of the 19th century and the ambitions of the modern wine world. Since its inception, all its grapes have come from a single block in the Alto Jahuel area of the Maipo Valley. With perfect exposure and aspect, this old vineyard, planted in the mid-1970s, is managed according to the latest precision viticulture practices and rests on ancient alluvial deposits of the Maipo River.

    Owner and history

    Viña Santa Rita was founded in 1880 by Don Domingo Fernández Concha, a prominent businessman and public figure of the time. Don Domingo introduced the finest French grape varieties to the fertile lands of the Maipo Valley, while also importing specialized equipment and a team of top-level French winemakers. This initiative brought previously unknown techniques to Chile, transforming the country's winemaking methods and yielding spectacular results.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Casa Real Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon is meticulous. After the grapes are hand-harvested, they are destemmed and crushed before being placed in vats for controlled fermentation. Each step is carried out with care to preserve the purity of the aromas. Aging in oak barrels for a significant period imparts complex notes and an elegant structure to the wine. This meticulous winemaking allows the full potential of the Chilean terroir to be expressed.
