✨ Technical Specifications
Escudo Rojo is the direct Spanish translation of 'Rote Schild'—the historic red shield emblem of the Rothschild family, symbolizing their deep-rooted winemaking heritage. Established in Chile's Central Valley in the late 1990s, Baron Philippe de Rothschild sought to marry traditional Bordeaux expertise with the exceptional, sun-drenched terroir of Chile. This Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Central Valley, where warm days and cool night breezes from the Andes allow the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while preserving vibrant acidity. The wine undergoes traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats before a portion is aged in oak barrels, resulting in a structured, elegant red that showcases intense black fruit, subtle spice, and refined tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1933 by the pioneering Baron Philippe de Rothschild, Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA is an internationally revered wine company anchored in Pauillac, Bordeaux. Alongside governing Premier Grand Cru Classé flagship Château Mouton Rothschild, the house crafts benchmark négociant and estate wines extending across Bordeaux, the Languedoc, and Chile's Maipo and Casablanca Valleys. The viticultural approach pairs high-standard sustainable practices—notably Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) certification and eco-friendly plot selection—with meticulous varietal expression. Across maritime Médoc gravels, Mediterranean limestone clay, and Pacific-cooled Chilean alluvial deposits, winemakers craft crisp, aromatic, and structured white expressions. Notable bottlings include Bordeaux blends such as Sélection Agneau Blanc and Berger Baron Blanc, Languedoc single-varietals like Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside Chilean representations like Escudo Rojo Chardonnay Reserva and Las Huertas Chardonnay. Each cuvée reflects the firm's exacting balance of pure fruit vibrancy, textural precision, and classical restraint.
