The Rothschild Collection Waddesdon Red represents a historic liquid bridge between the French winemaking royalty of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and the family's magnificent English estate, Waddesdon Manor. Established in the late 19th century by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, Waddesdon Manor has long been a beacon of art, culture, and fine wine. This exclusive Bordeaux blend is crafted to celebrate that heritage, combining the traditional expertise of the Rothschild winemaking team with carefully selected grapes from the Bordeaux region. Typically composed of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation and careful aging to balance vibrant red and black fruit flavors with elegant, supple tannins. It offers an accessible yet sophisticated expression of classic Bordeaux terroir, embodying the family's legendary dedication to excellence.
