Cecilia Torres – Winemaker of the Year
During the launch of Chile’s Wine Guide 2007, a group of 88 judges comprising winemakers, sommeliers, wine industry journalists and consumers designated the winemaker of Vina Santa Rita the best in the country. Chile’s Wine Guide describes her as “someone loved by all who has an audacious character masked behind her gentleness. Her boldness is perfectly portrayed in her wines, that have silently set trend after trend and today she is widely regarded as a world-class winemaker”

De Martino Gran Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
A solid modern Cabernet with emphasis on the currant and blackberry fruit, tobacco, loam, herb and cocoa flavours work in the background. Rich finish, drink now through 2010. 90 Points
Wine Spectator November 2006
De Martino Legado Carmenere 2005
Selected as one of the best wines of Chile in the category “Great Value Wines 2006”
Wine Spectator November 2006 and included in the list of best Carmeneres
“Standard but crisp red-fruit aromas are the greeting, while the main course is centred around bright raspberry and cherry flavours. It shows a touch of varietal character, meaning it is spicy and a touch saucy. But overall, it registers well, with medium depth and length”
88/100 Points, Top 100 Value Wines, Wine Spectator
Valdivieso Reserve Syrah 2004
“Rich, spicy, high toast oak aromas with hints of dark berry fruits. A serious wine. Lots of concentration. Intense. Long finish. Drink up to 2009”

Wine Enthusiast, December 2006
Perez Cruz Reserva Limited Edition Syrah 2004, Maipo Valley
“Shocked! That’s hopefully how you’ll feel after taking your first sip of this extraordinary Chilean Syrah. Potent is the nose; equally packed with plum, berry and chocolate in the mouth. And with mouth-coating tannins, extract and just enough core acidity, the finish lasts for minutes on end. One of the best Chilean Syrah you’ll find.”
92 Rating/Top 100 Wines of 2006, An Editors Choice, Wine Enthusiast 2006
“Stunning and concentrated; a full-throttle bottle”
90/100 Points, Nats Decants, UK, November 2006
Perez Cruz Reserva Limited Edition Carmenere 2004, Maipo Valley
“Complete as can be, smooth, refined aromas of black fruit and tight-grained oak. This is an elevated varietal wine that hits firmly with ripe plum, berry and herb flavours. The mouthfeel is ripe and lush, while the finish sports forward vanilla and more hidden cedar. A definite winner.”
91 Rating, An Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast
“This Carmenere won a Silver Medal at the prestigious Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2006. It will draw you in with its lovely red berry aromas and notes of mocha and spice. Deliciously sweet ripe fruit, such as cherries and plums. A great complement to lamb or veal, or serve with Gruyere cheese”
90/100 Points, Nats Decants, UK, November 2006
Perez Cruz Reserva Limited Edition Carmenere 2005
“Trophy” Best Pure Carmenere of the World Competition, November 2006
Carmenere Al Mundo
Perez Cruz Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, Maipo Valley
“Here’s a full force Maipo red that’s ready to run. The black cherry aromas and flavours are dark and chocolaty, while the feel is solid and the finish long and minty warm. Big but not plush; loaded but not opulent.”
88 Rating, A Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast
Perez Cruz Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
“A big wine for big occasions. It’s got rich fruit flavours or blackcurrants and cherry with notes of toasty oak and chocolate. This wine deserves rare roast beef or roast leg of lamb. Fantastic value! Big bold and brazen with aromas of dark red fruit."
90/100 Points. Best Value Red Wine, November 2006, Nats Decants UK
Perez Cruz Reserva Limited Edition Cot (Malbec) 2004
“A Silver Medal Winner at the 2006 Decanter World Wine Awards, this Cot (aka Malbec) is produced by one of Chile’s most exciting and respected newcomers. Lovely but more austere than the syrah. Match it to grilled steak or lamb.”
90/100 Points, Nats Decants, UK, November 2006
William Fevre Grand Cuvee Carmenere 2005
Gold Medal, Carmenere of the World Competition, November 2006
