Viña Los Vascos
At Los Vascos cultivation is at our heart; we cultivate not only vineyards but our dream to transform our vast land into a fruitful eco-system producing the most elegant Chilean wines. We are free spirited but remember our heritage. Our holistic approach encompasses and protects all - from our short-legged sheep clearing weeds without devouring precious grapes to our artisans honing hand-made knives to carefully tend the vines. We embody the Chilean paradox, meticulous in our work, easy going and warm in our personality. We are independent yet proud to cultivate our community because we are stronger and happier together.
The vintage
The winter was characterized by moderate rainfall, a little less than usual, and continued with a very cold spring. The beginning of the summer was cold, but temperatures gradually increased and remained very stable throughout the season, allowing for an ideal ripeness that produced grapes of great quality potential.
Harvest began in Peralillo on March 2nd and in Litueche on April 6th. This difference of more than a month is mainly due to the great difference in temperatures between the two areas. Grapes are harvested very early in the morning in order to preserve all the aromatic potential of this variety.

Tasting
The wine has a delicate yellow colour with golden glints.
The nose is seductive with aromas of lime, pineapple, green banana and white peach, combined with aromas of dried fruits coming from the barrels that contribute to the complexity.
On the palate, the wine is vibrant and concentrated with a nice creamy mouthfeel leading to an elegant finish.
