The Wine
Most will have heard of Château Lafite – “Bordeaux's most famous property” (Robert Parker) – but few know of its sister estate in Chile. The revered US critic praised Los Vascos for turning out “classy, elegant, stylish wines”. Baron Eric de Rothschild visited Chile in the early 1980s and was so impressed with Los Vascos that he bought it in 1988. The winemaking team there isn’t confined to making fine reds – they also produce terrific whites. This crisp, fruit and mineral laden Chardonnay is from the cool of Casablanca – one of Chile’s finest white wine regions. Warm days and cold nights results in ripe fruit still with plenty of stony zip and aroma. Chill down and enjoy on its own or with chicken or a spicy prawn and noodle stir-fry.
