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 25th. The grapes are harvested row by row in small cases to ensure they don´t get bruised.

Tasting
Intense ruby colour with violet hues.
Fruity notes such as raspberry, strawberry and watermelon dominate, complemented by blackberry yogurt and very subtle herbal notes of laurel, green tea and hibiscus. On the palate, it presents a vibrant and refreshing character with well-balanced acidity and a smooth texture. The tannins are delicate, giving it a pleasant grip.
