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 characterised by moderate rainfall, a little less than usual, followed by a very cold spring. The beginning of the summer was cold, but temperatures gradually increased and remained very stable throughout the season, providing the ideal ripening conditions for the grapes and resulting in great balance and quality.
The Syrah and Grenache were harvested together on March 9th, the Mourvèdre followed 2 weeks later, which allowed us to have the must in contact with the lees and to obtain a greater quantity of aromatic precursors and a rounder mouthfeel.

Tasting
Delicate, pale pink colour. The nose presents an aromatic explosion dominated by red fruits such as strawberry, ripe raspberry and pomegranate accompanied by notes of white peach and delicate floral hints. The palate is lively, fresh, fruity and silky with a long finish and great personality.
