✨ Technical Specifications
Escudo Rojo, translating directly to 'Red Shield' as a tribute to the Rothschild family's historic emblem, represents the perfect marriage of French winemaking distinction and Chilean terroir. Sourced from selected cool-climate parcels within Chile's Central Valley, this wine benefits from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the Humboldt Current, which slows ripening and preserves essential acidity. The winemakers employ strict temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact entirely to safeguard the pristine, vibrant fruit character. The result is an aromatic, crisp expression of the grape, defined by citrus zest, passion fruit, and delicate herbaceous undertones that reflect the modern vitality of Chilean viticulture.
🍾 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.
