Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic grape of Los Vascos vineyard and is the variety on which the estate has built its reputation. The common feature of all the vintages is ripe fruit, fresh aromas, and a supple, full-bodied structure. This wine has a sparkling ruby red color and a pleasantly fruity nose with aromas of black cherries, raspberries and plums, all with a hint of spice.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: The nose of this austere red displays bell pepper and black fruit aromas. It’s full-bodied and has mild fruit flavors followed by grass alongside medium acidity.

Producer Information

Via Los Vascos is a Chilean winery that has been owned and operated by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1988. The estate is located in the Colchagua Valley with a 640 hectare (1581 acre) vineyard, one of the largest in central Colchagua. Here, the soil is of volcanic origin with an ideal clay portion for viticulture. It sits at an average of 425 feet (130 meters) above sea level and 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Pacific Ocean. This creates a favourable microclimate with strong sun exposure and little risk of frost. The grape varieties planted at the estate include Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenre, Syrah, Malbec, and Chardonnay. Vines range from 15-70 years old, the oldest of which produce low yields with higher concentrations of phenolics and flavor compounds. The flagship of the Via Los Vascos wine portfolio is the Le Dix de los Vascos. Produced in commemoration of ten years of Domaines Barons de Rothschild, it is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend with small portions of Syrah and Carmen. It spends 18 months barrel-aging in the cellar prior to bottling. Other notable wines include the Cromas Carmenere Gran Reserva and the Cromas Gran Reserva produced from Cabernet Sauvignon. The white collections features Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc sourced from vineyards within the Casablanca Valley The bodega’s cellar includes 800 barrels, some of which come from Domaines Barons de Rothschild’s cooperage in Bordeaux and has a total case production of 450,000.
