Description
A stunning cuvée from Los Vascos, the Chilean outpost of Bordeaux's Château Lafite-Rothschild. The technical teams at Viña Los Vascos took nearly three years to develop Los Vascos Carmenère Grande Reserve. Special attention was devoted to the, Carmenère variety, which has almost disappeared from its native France but is now a flagship grape in Chile. This wine reveals the full potential of the Carmenère grape with a wonderful depth of blackberry, cherry and plum fruit along with some coffee and spice notes thanks to 12 months ageing in French oak.
