Los Vascos
Grande Réserve 2017
About this Item
'Los Vascos' means 'the Basques', a nod to the immigrant families who first planted vines in Chile's Colchagua Valley around 1750. In 1988 the Rothschilds of Château Lafite chose it as their first venture outside France, and the Grande Réserve is the estate's flagship: a Cabernet-led blend that marries Bordeaux know-how to the sunlit generosity of Colchagua.
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
