Santa Rita

Santa Rita, the leading Chilean wine in Ireland, has a rich and illustrious history of wine making since 1814. A tenth time ‘Winery of the Year’ recipient from Wine & Spirits Magazine, Santa Rita ranks among Chile’s top winemakers and enjoys a global reputation for producing some of the World’s most heavenly wines.

The classic Santa Rita120 range is named after the 120 heroes who sheltered in the cellars of Santa Rita during the fight for Chilean Independence. As homage to these heroes, Santa Rita launched the ‘Santa Rita 120 Local Hero’ awards in 2009 and this competition runs annually in each of the brand’s key markets. To participate in this competition, Santa Rita 120 calls on communities around Ireland to nominate their local hero - someone who deserves recognition for the outstanding work they do in their local community. The winning Santa Rita 120 hero receives €10,000 to spend on their nominated local community activity, as well as the trip of a lifetime for two to Chile, the home of Santa Rita wine. The person who nominates them also wins a wonderful trip to Chile.

Whilst Santa Rita 120 is the most widely known brand within the stable, Santa Rita also has a great range of Reserva wines in their portfolio. These wines are dynamic and well-structured and best reflect the characteristic aromas and taste profile of each varietal. They also have the complexity, concentration, elegance, and balance that provide a well-rounded, long-lasting expression of the regions in Chile that they are produced from.

Other premium Santa Rita wines include the Medalla Real Gran Reserva range, the innovative terroir driven Floresta and the world class Casa Real, which was awarded 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for the 2001 and 2002 vintages. A truly outstanding wine worth treating yourself to!
