Sensory Description:

The 2022 vintage presents an expressive aromatic profile of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and dark cherry, layered with notes of cedar, graphite, and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, offering generous fruit concentration balanced by fresh acidity and finely structured tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and depth, while Syrah contributes spice and mid-palate richness, and the supporting varieties add lift, color, and aromatic complexity. The cooler Andean influence of the growing season lends definition and energy, resulting in a composed, harmonious wine with a long, savory finish.

Producer’s Background:

Founded in 1865, Viña San Pedro is one of Chile’s most historic wineries and a cornerstone of the modern Chilean wine industry.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve lightly decanted at 16 to 18°C in a large-format red wine glass to allow the aromatics to fully unfold. This wine pairs naturally with grilled or roasted lamb, herb-crusted beef, slow-braised short ribs, or richly flavored vegetarian dishes such as mushroom risotto or lentil-based stews. Hard, aged cheeses also complement its structure and depth.
