Viña Los Vascos

In honor of the Basques

Los V ascos translates as "The Basques."  However, the Rotschild family did not immediately choose this estate, but researched the potential of local wines, tasted many wines and the terroirs with their characteristics were visited.

The choice for Los Vascos

Everything on New
