The pride of Chilean wines
Baron Philippe de Rothschild is all about the right price-quality ratio. A good glass of wine at a reasonable price. Well, with this Escudo Rojo Origine, they've certainly achieved that. The vineyards for this red wine are located in Maipo Valley, a beautiful wine region with a great reputation. Escudo Rojo Origine is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Before the beautiful, full bunches of Cabernet Sauvignon are allowed to become part of Escudo Rojo Origine, they undergo a strict selection. Only the finest grapes are included. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak. Approximately 25% of this is new oak, which imparts a tremendous amount of flavor to this exquisite red wine.
Impressions of Escudo Rojo Origine
The aroma is fabulous. We fell in love the moment we popped the cork from this bottle of Escudo Rojo Origine. Upon pouring, the palate unfolds with incredible refinement. You smell plums and black fruit. Black cherries, wild strawberries, and dark berries form a beautiful whole on the nose. The taste is, in a word, outstanding. Escudo Rojo Origine is a liquid paradise that we can't get enough of. You taste pronounced vanilla, sultry mocha, and roasted hazelnuts. The palate is silky smooth and glides like velvet over your taste buds. Escudo Rojo Origine is distinct, balanced, and incredibly distinctive.
