Chile
The quick surge of popularity in the early 1980’s for the wines of Chile were mainly for the entry level varietal range which we still refer to as ‘cheap and cheerful’. Of course Chile still makes wines in this range (they are very good at it) but they also are starting to export some of their better Estate wines, many of which are made from older vines. It is in this middle to high price range where there is new value from Chile. If you require further supplier or product information, please contact your local RWM office.
Another successful joint venture, between the French heritage and experience of Domaine Barons de Rothschild and the fantastic wines produced by the Chilean terroir. Los Vascos traces its roots to approximately 1750 and to the original vineyard of Miguel Echenique. The vineyard passed down through the family throughout the succeeding centuries. The acquisition of 50% of Los Vascos by Rothschild (Lafite) in 1988 was the result of a careful search among more than one hundred Chilean wineries for one that could meet their criteria for excellence. A team of winemakers from Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) control the viticulture, harvest, maceration, fermentation and aging of the wines at Los Vascos.
