Rosé
The vintage
A winter with moderate rainfall, gave way to a spring that initially behaved with normal temperatures and gradually rose to above normal levels during February and March, transforming the season into a very hot year, similar to 2019.
Location
Los Vascos estate lies in the foothills of the coastal range, 200km South West of Santiago, in the cooler part of the Colchagua valley, where the vines benefit from an ideal microclimate thanks to the influence of the Pacific Ocean.
Terroir
Los Vascos is made up of a large diversity of soils. The heart of the estate, in the valley floor, consists of sand and clay alluvions left by the erosion of neighbouring granitic hills, as well as Tosca, a very hard soil made from volcanic ashes that have been transported by rivers into the plains and compacted over time.
Grapes are sourced from dedicated plots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, that are tended with a view to producing a great rosé.
Winemaking
Grapes are harvested early in the morning, when temperatures are lower, in order to preserve the aromatic freshness of the grapes. At the winery, grapes are pressed directly and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve their aromatic potential. The wine is aged in tanks to retain the purity of the fruit.

Tasting
A low intensity pink color is the first impression of this delicate wine.
The nose shows all its expression with notes of fresh red fruits such as strawberries and cherries.
The palate is refreshing and tense, with a volume that accompanies and leaves a pleasant sensation, surprising for its persistence, surprising for its persistence.
