Le Dix

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 season started with a normal winter, with around 400 mm of rain and no sub-zero temperatures. Hot weather in the early spring offered a taste of what was to come in the summer, i.e. high temperatures and an absence of frost. The summer saw record highs of 39.6ºC in February and 39.2ºC in March.
Due to the high temperatures, the harvest started a week earlier than usual, on April 23, and was completed in three days.
Varietals
Cabernet sauvignon : 85%
Carménère : 10%
Syrah : 5%

Tasting
Le Dix 2015 has a beautiful ruby red color. Gorgeous aromas of raspberry and ripe cherry intermingle with notes of black pepper, cocoa, walnut skin, graphite, tobacco, and cedar.
On the palate, this magnificently balanced wine presents a harmonious structure, with refined tannins. A truly elegant offering.
