Los Vascos was purchased by the Bordeaux giant Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1988. The estate is at the foot of Mount Caneten, and its 1,581 acres of vineyards are the most extensive in Colchagua Valley, and one of the most extensive in Central Valley. With such geographic breadth, even Los Vascos single varietal wines profit from blends from grapes of vineyards many miles apart in varying terrain and even climate. The Chardonnay grapes for this wine, for example, come from the Peralillo and Litueche subregions of Colchagua Valley. Peralillo is about 25 miles from the sea on flat terrain where the temperature heats up in the summer, and Litueche is 12 miles from the sea in hillier land and where the Pacific winds keep the temperature controlled and moderate throughout the growing season. The grapes from each vineyard are macerated separately with their skins and the juice sits in their must in tanks for 10 days before fermentation. The Peralillo grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks and the Litueche grapes are fermented in oak barrels and foudres, and about 10% of the blend is allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation and kept on the lees. FOOD PAIRINGS: mushrooms, pasta with pesto, seared scallops, chicken or fish in cream- or butter-based sauces, charcuterie board, wide selection of cheeses
