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 vintage was characterized by moderate rainfall, a little less than usual, and continued with a very cold spring. The beginning of the summer was cold, but temperatures gradually increased and remained very stable throughout the season, without reaching extremes, which allowed us to obtain an ideal ripeness resulting in great balance and quality. The entire block was harvested by hand on March 28th.
Varietal
Pinot Noir : 100%
Tasting
Medium-deep ruby colour with garnet hues.
On the nose, the wine is intense and complex. Initially, floral notes stand out, such as rose and clove, along with fruity notes of sour cherry, black cherry and red currant. Fresh mushroom touches, typical of the variety, also emerge. On the palate, it conveys good volume and tension with chalky tannins.
