Special Selection

2015 Valle Central Cabernet Sauvignon

The Santa Helena Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2015 vintage is a remarkable expression of red wine hailing from the Valle Central region of Chile. This full-bodied wine showcases a delightful complexity with deep, rich flavors of dark berries, blackcurrant, and hints of cocoa, complemented by subtle undertones of oak. The wine has a medium acidity that adds to its overall balance, resulting in a smooth and mouthwatering experience. Its tannins are well-structured yet approachable, providing a firm backbone without overwhelming the palate. As a dry wine, the Santa Helena Special Selection is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for any occasion.

Region:

Valle Central

The expansive, warm flatlands of Chile's Valle Central are home to most of the country's vineyards. This long stretch of land from Santiago to Itata Valley is divided into four sub-regions, each with its own climate and reputation. There is Maipo Valley with its minty Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley with its spicy Carménère and the Curicó and Maule Valleys, famous for concentrated Carignan made from old vines. Throughout the valley—which is prized for its rich, volcanic soils—the hot days and cool nights result in ripe, well-balanced grapes. Some of the most common Valle Central wines are fruit-forward reds made from plummy Merlot and pear-flavored whites crafted from Chardonnay.
