ESCUDO ROJO ORIGINE RESV

Description

Lower than average rainfall, concentrated almost entirely during the winter, combined with slightly higher-than- average temperatures ensured perfect conditions for the vine growth cycle, enabling the grapes to reach optimum aromatic and phenolic maturity. These exceptional conditions generated natural concentration while preserving balance and refinement, allowing the grapes to achieve the purest expression of the identity of each terroir. As a result, the wines express all the generosity and power of Chile while remaining elegant and silky. Offering excellent ageing potential, 2019 is one of the great Chilean vintages. The wine is matured in 30% new oak barrels and 70% one-year-old oak barrels for 12 to 14 months.
GRAPE VARIETY
This wine is made entirely from the same grape variety even though the requirement under Chilean law is only 75%. Cabernet Sauvignon gives balanced wines with well-rounded tannins and blackcurrant, pepper and Liqueurice flavours. The wines have considerable ageing potential and their structure becomes rounder with time.
