Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon, 2022, Colchagua, Chile

Regular price £16.50

Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant grape of Vina Los Vascos, and is the variety on which the estate has built its reputation. Acquired by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1988, Baron Eric de Rothschild’s intuition that Los Vascos possessed the potential to produce fine wines has certainly been confirmed. The vineyard has developed somewhat since 1988, and now covers multiple terroir, enabling a broad stylistic variety across the range. DBR Lafite’s house style that promotes restraint, elegance and complexity shines through in the wines of Vina Los Vascos.

Bright, lively, ruby red colour. Intense, complex nose characterised by fruity notes of cherries, strawberries and plums, harmoniously blended with scents of clove and nutmeg. Medium bodied on the palate with fresh, soft, persistent tannins, combined with a pleasant acidity, producing an easy-to-drink wine, to share on special occasions or enjoy on a daily basis. Despite, in essence, this being the entry-level wine of the property, there’s nothing thin or dilute about it. This is an incredibly reliable wine that offers great pleasure at £15 a bottle.
