The wine:
Le Dix de Los Vascos is made primarily from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes from parcels where the vines are more than 50 years old. As well as smaller portions of Carménère and Syrah grapes. The irrigation of these plots is very limited in spring and early summer. In connection with the limited supply of water, the vines are pruned to achieve the low harvest yield of 70 hl per ha, just as no fertilizer is used.
In Chile, the harvest usually takes place in March. From the beginning of the month, the maturity of sugar and tannins is checked by analysis and tasting. When the ripening is perfect, the grapes are harvested early in the cool morning. Before the grapes are crushed, they are sorted by a quality control.
The vinification takes place under the supervision of both local and French employees from Château Lafite Rothschild. The skins are soaked in the must until it has achieved its intense red colour. When the fermentation is over after 3 weeks, the part of the wine is selected to mature for 18 months in 225 liter French oak casks from Château Lafite Rothschild's cooperage. After bottling, the wine is stored in the bottle for 15 months before being released for sale.
Wine house:
Los Vascos Estate covers an area of 500 ha, located 220 km south-west of the Chilean capital, Santiago and 40 km from the Pacific Ocean. The property is located in the Cañeten and Colchagua valleys in the Central Valley, where wine has been grown since the mid-18th century.
Back then, the vines were imported from France, before the vine louse (phylloxera vastatrix) ravaged Europe's vineyards.
Today, the wine is still grown on descendants of these vines. When Domaines Barons de Rothschild wanted to expand their holdings in 1988. They became the first French investors in modern Chile. Los Vascos Estate was selected after careful examination of the existing plantings with vines as well as soil and climate conditions.
