Regularly named one of Chile’s finest wineries in terms of value for money and quality, Santa Ema was founded by the Pavone family who have over three generations of experience of making wine in the local area. The family can trace their history in the Maipo Valley back to 1917 when they first arrived here to grow grapes. Today they use their intimate knowledge of the land and terroir to produce excellent wines from classic international varieties.
Catalina is one of their flagship bottlings and was inspired by Catalina Moreno-Rodillo, the wife of Santa Ema’s founder, Félix Pavone. It’s an elegant Bordeaux-style blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere and Cabernet Franc. The grapes are sourced from prime estate vineyards in the Cachapoal Valley where conditions are ideal for crafting top quality reds thanks to the sunny summer days and cooling breezes from the nearby Andes Mountains.
Once in the winery the grapes are vinified separately by variety and aged in new French oak barrels for 10 months followed by a further 4 months after the blending process is complete. The wine is then allowed to rest in the bottle for a year before it is ready for release. The result is a richly-layered, full bodied wine with powerful dark fruit flavours and a muscular structure and tannins which will respond well to additional cellaring.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
