SANTA EMA
4 to Elemento 2023
Santa Ema began planting its Cerro Blanco vineyards in the Pirque area around 2010, in a place at the foot of the first foothills of the Andes, between 700 and 1,000 meters above sea level—very high for the average vineyard in Chile. This particular cabernet (it has several varieties planted, all red) comes from a selection of vineyards about 850 meters above sea level and is a pure expression of Andean cabernet, rich in fruit notes, but above all generous in herbal tones. The body is supported by fine, firm tannins, flavors of ripe red fruits, and the finish recalls herbs. A very clear example of mountain cabernet.
