About the winery · Viña Santa Rita ›

Viña Santa Rita is a historic Chilean winery founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernández Concha in the Maipo Valley. The estate was among the early Chilean producers to bring in fine French grape varieties and winemaking expertise. Its 120 line refers to the 120 patriots who, according to the winery's history, found refuge in Santa Rita's cellars during Chile's fight for independence. Today, the 120 wines are positioned as approachable, everyday bottles that connect the estate's history with easy-drinking Chilean varietal and blend styles.

Critic reviews

86/100Wine Enthusiast

“Aromas of black olive and black fruits show an almost grilled element; the review notes energy, balance, a touch of oak, and plum, berry and cherry flavors.”
