Escudo Rojo Reserva Carmenere

The bouquet shows ripe black berry fruit aromas, joined on airing by notes of roasted coffee beans and black pepper. From a highly expressive palate comes black fruit notes, the peppery notes that emerged with airing return on a mid-palate which combines power with heft. The finish lingers on an intense array of black fruit, spice and roasted coffee bean flavours.

Produced by Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile, Escudo Rojo was born in 1999, the result of a marriage of ancestral Bordeaux expertise and exceptional Chilean terroir. These fine branded wines are both cultivated in the great Bordeaux winemaking tradition of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and capitalise on Chile’s environmental richness. Just four years after the launch of Escudo Rojo, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild inaugurated the Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile Bodega in 2003, situated 45 kilometres south of Santiago in the Maipo Valley. The opening marked Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s deep commitment to Chile. The Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s spirit permeates the production of their Chilean wines through the quest for high quality. Escudo Rojo blends Chilean identity with French style.
