Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon

Overview

Crafted under the expert stewardship of Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chile, Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon represents the seamless marriage of legendary Bordeaux winemaking expertise and the outstanding terroir of Chile’s Maipo Valley—the world-renowned home of Chilean Cabernet. “Escudo Rojo” is the Spanish translation of “Rote Schild” (Red Shield), the historical emblem of the Rothschild family, symbolizing a benchmark of elegance, structure, and consistency.

Terroir & Winemaking

• Maipo Valley Terroir: Sourced from meticulously selected vineyards in the Maipo Valley, where gravelly alluvial soils, sunny days, and cool Andean night breezes create ideal conditions for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with intense color, rich fruit concentration, and refined tannins.

• Bordeaux Craftsmanship: Vinified using traditional methods under the supervision of French winemakers, followed by extended aging in French oak barrels (a mix of new and second-use casks) to add complexity, roundness, and subtle toasted notes.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: Rich, expressive, and aromatic. Opens with vibrant layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and blackberry, interwoven with subtle accents of crushed black pepper, dark chocolate, coffee bean, and toasted cedar wood.

• Palate: Full-bodied, generous, and beautifully structured. A dense core of dark berry fruit is supported by fine-grained, velvety tannins and balanced acidity that provides freshness and drive.

• Finish: Long, elegant, and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of dark cocoa, warm spice, and ripe cassis.

Key Highlights

• Rothschild Heritage: Produced by Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chile, guaranteeing world-class Bordeaux blending and quality standards.

• Benchmark Maipo Cabernet: Showcases classic Maipo Valley fruit intensity alongside French elegance and structure.

• Exceptional Versatility & Value: A sophisticated, food-friendly red that punches well above its price point—ideal for everyday luxury drinking, corporate gifting, or pairing with steak and grilled meats.
