Vintage Report

For the 2023 vintage in Chile, there are still insufficient ratings (NT) available via the Robert Parker Vintage Chart. These wines still need more extensive testing to be assigned a definitive score.

Escudo Rojo's best-selling wine is this oak-aged Chardonnay! It's no wonder, because it's so delicious, creamy, full-bodied, and robust! The Chardonnay grapes come from the best region for this grape: Valle de Casablanca in Chile. Conditions there are ideal for growing these grapes. Baron Philippe de Rothschild acquired one of the finest vineyards in its heyday. The gentlemen of Baron Philippe de Rothschild were among the first European wineries to cross the Atlantic to beautiful Chile. According to the winemakers, the climate and conditions there were perfect and unique for top wines. Indeed, Escudo wines were born, including this Chardonnay.

Wood aging for the Escudo Rojo Chardonnay

When the Chardonnay grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested by hand. Baron Philippe de Rothschild begins harvesting the grapes early, as they say, when the grapes are in deep dormancy. This preserves their freshness and prevents bruising during transport. After pressing, this Escudo Rojo Chardonnay is aged for nine to twelve months in Baron Philippe de Rothschild's cellars in Chile. Some of the oak used is new and has never been used, giving this white wine even more power and rich flavors. Every effort is made to uphold the reputation, so no bottle of Escudo Rojo Chardonnay leaves the cellar until it is completely finished. A wine with character and suppleness—that's the best way to describe this Chilean white wine.

The aroma and taste of the Chardonnay from Escudo Rojo

As soon as the cork pops, we immediately smell a beautiful bouquet of tropical fruit. This initial aroma is enhanced as the golden juice is poured into the glass. A quick swirl releases aromas of vanilla, ripe yellow fruit like apricots and peach, and of course, a generous dose of oak. The palate is full-bodied with a thick, rich structure, and notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak are immediately noticeable. Let it linger on the palate, and this Escudo Rojo Chardonnay also reveals notes of yellow cream and toasted nuances. What a gem this is!
