The Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Collection
Crafted by Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chile
Overview
The Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva range represents the seamless union of centuries-old Bordeaux winemaking mastery and the exceptional, diverse terroirs of Chile. Named after "Escudo Rojo"—the Spanish translation of "Rote Schild" (Red Shield), the historical emblem of the Rothschild family—this collection embodies elegance, structure, and uncompromising quality. From the sun-drenched Maipo Valley to the ocean-breeze-cooled Casablanca slopes, each bottle offers an authentic, premium expression of Chile’s finest winemaking regions.
The Portfolio Lineup
1. Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
Style: Bold, structured, and classic.
Tasting Notes: Rich layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and cassis, seamlessly integrated with notes of cedar, dark cocoa, and subtle toasted French oak spice. Supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Best Paired With: Prime ribeye, grilled lamb chops, or aged hard cheeses.
2. Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Carmenere (Rapel Valley)
Style: Silky, aromatic, and velvety.
Tasting Notes: Showcases Chile’s signature grape at its finest. Deep ruby with violet hues, bursting with luscious blackberry, black cherry, and red pepper spice, underpinned by nuances of dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean, and sweet oak.
Best Paired With: Spiced meats, slow-braised stews, roasted duck, or rich savory Latin cuisine.
3. Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
Style: Crisp, elegant, and beautifully balanced.
Tasting Notes: Sourced from cool-climate maritime vineyards. Vibrant aromas of white peach, nectarine, and passionfruit, layered with toasted brioche, roasted hazelnut, and delicate vanilla. Bright citrus acidity balances a subtle, creamy texture.
