Introduction:
The Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished and expressive red from Chile’s renowned Colchagua Valley. Produced by Los Vascos—owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite)—this wine reflects a balance of Chilean sunshine and Bordeaux-inspired precision. It is crafted to showcase ripe varietal character, supple structure, and refined winemaking, offering both immediate appeal and dependable quality.

Terrior:
Located in the Colchagua Valley, the vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cooling influences from Pacific breezes that funnel through coastal gaps. The soils are predominantly alluvial and colluvial, composed of clay, sand, and gravel, promoting good drainage and balanced vine vigor. The 2023 vintage experienced favorable ripening conditions, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve optimal phenolic maturity while preserving freshness and structure.

Tasting notes:
The 2023 Los Vasco Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from 100% cabernet sauvignon and is aged in stainless steel in order to showcase the wine's opulent fruit profile. It has aromas and flavors of raspberries, pomegranates, and blackcurrants accompanied by notes of spicy nutmeg. The palate is silky and voluminous, with bright acidity that brings a touch of freshness and gives it a long, mouthwatering finish.
