Los Vascos was 50% acquired by Rothschild (Lafite) in 1988. A team of winemakers from Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) control the viticulture, harvest, maceration, fermentation and aging of the wines at Los Vascos. All production is estate bottled.
Almost colorless in the glass, with just a hint of pale straw tint. This is a light chardonnay that paired very nicely with a light summer seafood medley of shrimp and scallops. The palate was citrusy with some very nice apple and peach notes, and finished with an interesting mineral tone. Well balanced and a good deal.
