Medalla Real Maipo Valley Santa Rita 1987
The Medalla Real Maipo Valley 1987 is a red wine produced by Santa Rita, an estate with a history dating back to its founding in 1880. This specific vintage was estate bottled as an export wine by Viña Santa Rita Ltda. and was distributed by the importer V.E.L.I.E.R. srl.
The wine originates from the Maipo Valley in Chile. Located near Santiago, it is recognized as the country's oldest and most classic wine region, established in the mid-1800s with the introduction of French grape varieties. The geographical conditions, characterized by the warm valley and the slopes of the Andes mountains, provide a prominent foundation for the area's viticulture, which is particularly famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon.
This vintage is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the world's most renowned blue grapes. While it thrives in the Maipo Valley, the variety is also frequently cultivated in other major global wine regions, including Bordeaux, California, Washington, and Tuscany. The wine is presented in a 750 ml bottle with an alcohol volume of 12%.
