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
This season was characterized by less rainfall than usual, followed by a very cold spring. The beginning of summer was characterized by relatively cool temperatures that gradually increased and remained very stable throughout the growing season, allowing for perfect ripeness. A vintage that will be talked about for many years due to the quality of the grapes and their great potential.

Tasting
Deep and vibrant red color.
The nose is intense with a nice complexity. Initially dominated by fruit with notes of red plum, raspberry, and black cherry, the nose gives way to hints of tobacco, black pepper, cedar, and graphite.
On the palate, the attack is soft, with plenty of volume and good structure. The tannins are very fine and well-balanced by acidity that provides depth and freshness. The finish reveals the full intensity of the fruit and spices.
A balanced wine with great persistence that will gain more complexity over time.
