✨ Technical Specifications
Escudo Rojo is the Spanish translation of the German 'Rote Schild', meaning 'red shield'—the historic emblem of the Rothschild family. Launched in Chile by Baron Philippe de Rothschild, this range represents the family's encounter with the exceptional terroirs of the Central Valley. The Escudo Rojo Syrah is a testament to this fusion of French winemaking expertise and Chilean soil. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Central Valley, where warm sunny days are tempered by cool evening breezes from the Andes, the grapes develop intense concentration and balanced acidity. The wine is traditionally vinified and aged partially in French oak barrels to impart structure, elegance, and refined notes of spice and toasted oak to the rich black fruit core.
🍾 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.
