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
A rainy winter gave way to a cool spring where the maximum temperatures never raised over 26°C. Rain showed up only and briefly at the beginning of summer, along with some unusual cool temperatures, that made this season, without any doubt, the freshest to date. A round the clock surveillance, tasting the grapes, checking their maturity was necessary to find out the best vintage date.
Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon kicked off the season on March 24, and we closed with the Mourvèdre on April 13. An early picking, made by hand, gave us the opportunity to protect the delicate aromas from oxidation and to constrain the extraction of colour.

Tasting
Bright and crystal-clear, this wine has an alluring pale pink colour. The nose exhibits an intense strawberry scent that mixes along a background of raspberry and sweet melon pear. A fresh, vivacious palate that presents a delicate structure and balanced acidity, this 2021 Los Vascos Rosé develops into a lovely and gentle acertaste. A veritable food wine.
