Colchagua, Chile

Presentation

The rosé of Los Vascos is made from grapes which are immediately pressed after harvesting. This preserves the freshness, the fruity aromas and the bright colour brought by the juice. It is best to drink young to fully enjoy the lively and elegant features.


The vintage

This season was marked by unusually high temperatures from the beginning of spring, as early as September, with maximum temperatures exceeding 30ºC, which continued until the harvest. The warm weather not only moved the harvest forward by 20 days, but also led to lower yields, resulting in very high quality grapes.

Winemaking

The grapes were sorted and chilled to ensure they retained the aromas and characteristic freshness of the varieties during maceration and crushing.
Fermentation took from 3 to 4 weeks in stainless steel vats to allow the full extraction of the grapes’ organoleptic properties.

Tasting

Bright pale pink color. The nose explodes with aromas of strawberry, while the palate has plenty of volume, pleasant concentration, and a superbly creamy texture.
To enjoy it at its best, drink now while it is still young. Best served chilled at 11-13ºC.
