Spanish conquistadors brought viticulture to Chile in the 16th century. Today, the country boasts some of the world’s most prime vineyard land attracting foreign investment from some of the world’s most respected producers. After years of extensive soil research and tasting many wines to determine the potential of numerous unique sites, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired the Los Vascos estate in 1988.

 

Chateau Lafite’s technical director made several calculated decisions in planting new vines and restructuring existing vineyards, relying on his expertise gained while working for one of Bordeaux’s famous First Growths. The Cromas wine is 100% Cabernet Franc from fruit grown on granite hillsides in the Colchagua Valley, aptly named for the colorful composition of unique flavors in this wine from a Chilean terroir with a French pedigree. It’s simply stunning for this price.
