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 maximum temperatures did not exceed 26°C. The summer had rain at the beginning and unusually low temperatures, undoubtedly the coolest season in recent years. This, of course, is reflected in the wines. It was necessary to inspect, taste and analyze more frequently in order to make the right decision on the harvest date. The 2021 Cabernet Franc was harvested on March 29 and 30, almost two weeks later than the 2020.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
Tasting
Attractive ruby-red color.
Fragrant nose of red berries (raspberry and fresh strawberry), with the herbaceous and floral aromas characteristic of this varietal. Notes of orange peel and graphite complete the aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the wine offers a soft opening, marked by intense, refreshing acidity. Strong but pleasant tannins lead to a persistent finish.
