Viña Los Vascos

Colchagua Valley At an elevation of nearly 1000 feet and only a few miles from the cool Pacific Ocean, Viña Los Vascos has a privileged and very unique position amongst the Chilean vineyards. The vineyard has been owned for over two centuries by the Eyzaguirre/Echenique family but realising the need to develop Los Vascos internationally they formed a partnership with the Rothschilds of Lafite. The two families share the same passion for great wines and their ultimate goal is to make Los Vascos le 'Premier des Premiers' of Chile. The vineyard covers 1250 acres with the vines averaging an age of nearly 30 years. Planted in the typical Bordeaux style the property is planted with 75%Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Chardonnay, all of which are ungrafted. Since Los Vascos is in the Southern Hemisphere, the harvest takes place in March and this allows the Lafite Rothschild team to bring their support from France during the picking and vinification periods. All the production is estate bottled. Find out about the wines available from the fantastic Lafite Rothschild stable world-wide by visiting their website here;Lafite Rothschild
