"Bright ruby red color. The nose is dominated by aromas of strawberry and blackberry, gradually giving way to notes of redcurrant, black cherry, herbs, and roasted red pepper. Barrel aging adds complexity with hints of tiramisu and dried fruits. On the palate, the wine is structured, with firm tannins that reflect its youth and character."
Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite took over the Los Vascos estate (Los Vascos meaning The Basques, in honour of its Basque origins) in 1988. They chose Los Vascos, because of its location near the ocean and its exceptional soil. Along with ideal weather conditions, Los Vascos benefits from intense exposure to the sun, adequate water sources, semi-arid soils and little risk of frost. At an average of 130m above sea level and at just 40 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, the microclimate of Viña Los Vascos has everything to produce fine wines.
The 600ha vineyard is planted with healthy pre-phylloxera Bordeaux rootstock and is under direct technical supervision of the Domaines.
