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 winter with moderate rainfall gave way to a spring of average temperatures, with a frost episode affecting the vineyard because it is an early budding variety. At the end of spring, temperatures began to rise and remained above average throughout the summer, turning the season into a hot year, similar to 2019.The harvest began on March 6th and ended on March 17th. The challenges imposed by a hot year forced usto react quickly and ensure the aromatic intensity and freshness so important in this wine.
Varietal
Chardonnay : 100%
Tasting
Straw yellow in colour with golden rims.
Fresh on the nose, it starts with exotic notes of banana and pineapple evolving towards more complex notes of flint and dried fruits.
On the palate it is a balanced wine with a good volume and acidity. The oak adds creaminess and persistence.
