Aged in French oak for eight months, followed by at least 8 months in the bottle, this Reserve Malbec is intense violet in colour, with aromas of prunes and cinnamon on the nose.  Well-structured, rounded and complex tannins give a pleasant sensation in the mouth. 

Try with cheese or barbecued meats.

Santa Alicia have been producing wines in the heart of Maipo Valley since 1954. With grapes from three select communes, a state of the art winery, and judicious use of the finest American and French oak barrels, we believe the wines represent the highest price/quality ratio in Chile.

In 2007, they were named Chilean Wine Producer of the Year for "best overall results from a Chilean winery" in the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition in London.

Tasting notes for Santa Alicia Reserva Malbec 2008



Deep ruby/violet, dark, good tears.

Black fruit, herbaceous - blackcurrant leaf, spice, wood, touch of tobacco.

Rich, full, fruity, soft and supple. Black fruit sweetness on mid-palate and expressive right through to lingering finish. Chocolate & fig evident also.

Incredible complexity and poise for the price, love it.

Mike, Jan 2010 (2008 vintage)
