The Wine
Most will have heard of Château Lafite – “Bordeaux’s most famous property” (Robert Parker) – but few know of its sister estate, Los Vascos in Chile. The revered US critic praises it for turning out “classy, elegant, stylish wines”. Baron Eric de Rothschild visited Chile in the early 1980s and was so impressed with Los Vascos that he bought it in 1988. The winemaking team there isn’t confined to making fine reds – they also produce terrific whites. This crisp, fruit and mineral-laden Chardonnay is from some of their coolest climate vineyards in the Colchagua Valley. Warm days and cold nights result in ripe fruit with plenty of aromas and steely freshness. Chill and enjoy on its own or with chicken or a spicy prawn and noodle stir-fry.
