Los Vascos Cromas Gran Reserva Syrah 2019, Colchagua, Chile – Black Friday Sale
£16.00
Domaines Barons de Rothschild acquired Viña Los Vascos in 1988, animated by a pioneering spirit and with the vision to reveal the potential of this exceptional land. Today they cultivate a common dream and project: to turn the expansive vineyard of Los Vascos into a rich ecosystem producing the most elegant Chilean wines possible. The Cromas range is a new release from Los Vascos and is made in a richer more exotic style compared to past vintages. This wine is made using old vine Syrah that would have been destined for the top blend of the estate; Los Vascos Le Dix.
Tasting notes
Purple colour with violet hues. Expressive nose of flowers, especially violets, packed with layers of red fruits like fresh plums and figs, and spices like black pepper and anise. Subtle oak aromas over a backdrop of graphite, tobacco, and cedar. Its delightful palate balances acidity, fine-grain tannins, excellent volume, perfect body, and long finish which hints at the great potential this wine has.
