✨ Technical Specifications
Escudo Rojo is the Spanish translation of 'Rote Schild'—the historic red shield that gave the Rothschild family its name. This premium cuvée, 'Origine', is a tribute to the family's winemaking roots, showcasing their expertise transplanted to the exceptional terroir of Chile's Maipo Valley within the Central Valley. Sourced from carefully selected micro-parcels where stony clay soils and the cooling breezes of the Andes Mountains create the perfect microclimate, this wine represents the pinnacle of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. It is crafted using traditional Bordeaux techniques, including meticulous parcel selection and aging in French oak barrels for approximately 12 months, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth, structure, and elegance.
🍾 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.
