Baron Philippe de Rothschild Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Carmenere

Baron Philippe de Rothschild's Escudo Rojo Gran Reserva Carmenere is a single-varietal expression from Puente Alto in Maipo Valley, Chile's premier red wine region. The wine showcases the signature character of Carmenere: ripe dark plum and black cherry on the nose, layered with herbaceous undertones and subtle spice. Medium-full body and balanced tannin structure make this wine approachable yet age-worthy, with secondary cocoa and black pepper notes adding complexity. Tertiary leather and earth notes emerge with bottle age, suggesting a wine built for both near-term enjoyment and modest cellaring. A versatile food wine suited to grilled meats, braised beef, and rich preparations.
