Origin
The 120 Series wines are named in honour of the 120 patriot soldiers who found refuge in Santa Rita's hacienda during the war for Chile's independence. The cellars where they were hidden are still used for maturation of Santa Rita's wines to this day.
Taste
Intense aromas of red fruits, accompanied by floral, vanilla and tobacco notes. Has a great feeling of volume in the mouth, with plentiful but super-soft tannins, and typically Chilean ripeness of fruit.
Enjoy
An obvious choice for light red meat dishes and pasta, or even weightier fish such as salmon.

Staff Reviews

  • Great for the money

    "At the offer price, this is top drawer stuff: full of ripe plum and earthy bramble fruit backed up with ripe tannins and well balanced alcohol. Delighted to have Santa Rita back in the range at sub £6 after a short absence."

Press Reviews

  • Fat, spicy, plum and blackcurrant-laden (2011 Vintage)

    "Santa Rita’s best red 120 duo yet includes this smashing, fat, spicy, plum and blackcurrant-laden, meaty pizza and pasta-loving merlot (Jane MacQuitty, Saturday Times, 17th March 2012)"
