The wine:

The Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc grapes come mainly from own fields in the Casablanca Valley. The rest comes from the Leyda Valley and, for the first time in vintage 2008, also from fields at the foot of the Andes, all are cool areas that are suitable for Sauvignon Blanc.
The harvest took place from 8 March to 24 April. The grapes were harvested by hand at optimum ripeness. The grapes are sorted by a quality control and cooled to avoid unnecessary oxygenation before they are pressed. This results in a must of the highest quality.

After pressing, the skins are removed from the must and vinification takes place in steel tanks at 12ºC – 14ºC for up to 20 days.

The area:

At Los Vascos Estate, it is clear what good French producers can achieve when they work with grapes they know, under optimal climate conditions. Here it is the people behind the 1st Grand Cru Classé Chateau Lafite Rothschild. The result: a winery that is at the top of the South American quality hierarchy. When talking about the best French wine from Chile, Los Vascos is the point of reference.

The wine house:

The 500 ha Los Vascos Estate is located 220 km southwest of the Chilean capital Santiago. The property is located in the Cañeten and Colchagua valleys in the Central Valley, where wine has been grown since the mid-18th century.

In 1988, Domaines Barons de Rothschild became the first French investors in modern Chile. Los Vascos Estate was selected after careful study of the existing vines as well as soil and climate conditions. Today, Domaines Barons de Rothschild owns the entire estate and has full control over production, from vine to finished wine.
