LOS VASCOS CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon

The expression of the grape variety.

The wines in our Los Vascos range are single varietal wines from the historic heart of our Peralillo vineyard. The soil of this valley floor is composed of sand and clay alluvium and “tosca”, a hard rock made of compacted volcanic ash.

Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon is vinified in the Bordeaux style, but without barrel ageing, to capture the essence of the variety planted in Colchagua. The nose bursts with aromas of red fruits such as plum and cherry, interspersed with notes of ripe strawberries, nutmeg, cocoa, thyme, and black pepper. The palate is ample, with ripe tannins, and a beautiful concentration and persistence.

The Wines | of | Viña Los Vascos

Our wines are true to their Chilean heart, born in the wilderness of the Colchagua valley, but they are made in the spirit of DBR Lafite, combining ancestral know-how with the latest techniques to produce wines of great elegance and precision.

Our goal? To achieve a perfect balance between this strong local identity and what we have learned at DBR Lafite about finesse and precision.

The main grape variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, which is particularly suited to our terroir and also the emblematic grape variety of Château Lafite Rothschild.

But here, in Colchagua, it has turned into a different variety that we like to work with to reveal a new aromatic palette. The wines are made and aged in the Bordeaux tradition, and feature remarkable elegance and aromatic freshness.
