The Vine Trip

In the mid-19th century, Chilean wine producers brought vines from Bordeaux to improve the quality of the original vineyard at Los Vascos. The estate came full circle, when infamous Bordeaux wine family Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) purchased Los Vascos in 1988. “Le Dix” (10 in French) was introduced to commemorate the first ten years of wine production. Sourced from 70 year old vines, oldest on the estate, made from mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) blended with Carmenère, Cab Franc and Syrah.

Ripe, oaked berry aroma, fresh, bright, and richly layered.  A lovely long textured finish.
