Grape

Cabernet Sauvignon

Origin
Domaines Barons de Rothschild took over the Los Vascos ('The Basques') estate in 1988, and since then have grown it from its original 220ha of vines to 580ha. Many of the original vines are 40-50 years old, with the oldest being up to 70 years old.
Taste
Classic and pure Cabernet, with well-defined notes of cherry, blueberry and plum on the nose, with hints of bay leaf and clove adding subtle depth. Approachably soft yet weighty on the palate.
Enjoy
Partner with roast beef or fillet steak.

    Outstanding

    I have purchasing this wine for well nearly 20 years. It is as good as many French classed growths, but then with the pedigree of no less than Chateau Lafite what do you expect. It has full body with strong nose and length. I will recommend this to anyone who wants quality wine and can't afford and is not willing to pay the prices of some quality Bordeaux. It is amazing at the price

    Outstanding CabSauv

    I'm surprised that this outstanding CabSauv does not attract more excitement, as it is usually on offer making it readily affordable. From the Rothschild stable (what a pedigree - they make the best Paulliac), it combines classic 'claret' complexity and New World fruit. It has to be the best Chilean CabSauv - and lovers of Chilean reds should 'trade up', as the difference is appreciable and the price is right. It ticks all the boxes, so why bother with anything else?!
