To confirm the success of the Escudo Rojo Cuvée, first vinified in 1999, the decision was made in 2002 to build a new, modern winery in Chile's Valle de Maipo. It opened just a year later. Until 2014, this Escudo Rojo cuvée was the only wine produced in the then-new, ultramodern winery. Then, Rothschild's oenologists added a whole range of highly elegant varietal wines from the best parcels of the Central Valley. The passion for Baron Philippe de Rothschild's first Chilean wine remains strong and is loved in over 50 countries.
Well, we can tell you this wine is unique and of outstanding quality. The entire wine has been aged in oak for at least 12 months to ensure it becomes a robust, full-bodied wine. This has been achieved, as the aroma reveals a beautiful bouquet of impressions of abundant black fruit with a light dose of vanilla, chocolate, coffee grounds, and toffee. The palate is complex with a soft, delicious edge. Beautiful aromas of berries and blackberries, a touch of black pepper and coffee, complemented by notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and toasted oak. A true Chilean gem.
