2020 Vina San Pedro Altair Tinto 750ml

Discover the celestial elegance of the 2020 Viña San Pedro Altaïr, the flagship "Icon" wine from one of Chile's most historic producers. Named after the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, Altaïr is a high-altitude blend that represents the pinnacle of the Cachapoal Andes terroir. This 2020 vintage marks a significant era of "finesse and freshness" under the direction of head winemaker Gabriel Mustakis, moving away from heavy extraction toward a more transparent and balanced style.

The 2020 Altaïr is a Cabernet-driven blend composed of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Carménère. The grapes are sourced from 120 distinct plots within the estate, characterized by volcanic, stony soils that impart a unique mineral structure. For the first time in 2020, the aging process evolved to include amphorae alongside traditional French oak barrels (50% new) and large foudres, allowing the fruit's purity to take center stage. It is bottled at 14.9% ABV.

On the nose, the 2020 vintage is remarkably vibrant, offering a complex bouquet of earthy blackberries, mulberries, and red cherries, layered with subtle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and pine. The palate is concentrated and rich but maintains a "tension" and bright acidity that is uncommon for such a warm year. You’ll find flavors of dark chocolate, cassis, and Indian spices, framed by velvety, fine-grained tannins. Critics have been highly impressed, with the vintage earning consistent scores in the 93–95 point range.

This wine is an essential gift for collectors of South American icons like Almaviva or Seña. Its robust structure and natural acidity make it a superb candidate for the cellar, where it will continue to evolve over the next 10–15 years. For an immediate experience, decant for at least one hour and pair with herb-crusted lamb, prime rib, or a rich mushroom risotto.
