Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva. Baron Philippe de Rothschild

Connoisseur special, Escudo Rojo official Gran Reserva Shield, 2017. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Cabernet Franc grape varietals, by Baron Philippe De Rothschild, Chile.

BPDR: In memory of Late, Respected Baroness Philippine De Rothschild, Mathilde Camille, a French vintner. Four extraordinary valleys and six staggering grape assortments. BPDR in the last part of the 1990s chose to make wines in Chile. Having outstanding climatic conditions, Chile’s central district produces wines that uncover the pith of Chilean articulation. 

Tasting: Escudo Rojo is the Spanish interpretation of the German “Rote Schild”. The wine shows genuine spirits of winemaking. Developed in one year old oak barrels for a year. With great notes of red and dark fruits, the wine likewise uncovers notes of espresso. It conveys a slight earthy and smoky note too. A mix of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet franc, 38% carmenere and 20% Syrah. Ground-breaking on the nose and rich on the sense of taste.
