Los Vascos has been part of the renowned Rothschild family since 1988. They own vineyards in the Colchagua Valley, an iconic wine region in Chile. The vineyards are located just 40 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. This allows the Carmenere grapes to enjoy an ideal climate. During the day, they receive record hours of sunshine. At night, a pleasant sea breeze blows through the vineyards, something the grapes appreciate immensely. It's no coincidence that Los Vascos has planted several Carmenere vineyards. This grape is considered the pride of Chile. It originated in Bordeaux, but it primarily produced harsh, uninspiring wines there. However, this spicy, all-rounder turned out to thrive in Chilean vineyards.
A top-notch Carmenere. Few red wines can match this Los Vascos gem. Its quality is partly due to its production method. After harvest, the refined juice of the Carmenere grape is aged for 12 months in French oak, 20% of which is new oak. This imparts a tremendous amount of flavor to the red wine. As soon as you open the wine, you'll be transported to paradise. Your nose is captivated by deep notes of cherry, blackberry, pomegranate, and pepper. But swirl Los Vascos Carmenere Grande Reserve in your glass, and you'll also discover black olives, smoked chili pepper, and soft cinnamon. The palate is at least as impressive as the aroma. You'll taste fruit, but also a hint of bitter chocolate. A gentle spice on the back of the tongue completes this Los Vascos red wine.
