Escudo Rojo is a fine blend of traditional grape varieties. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Cabernet Franc grapes are selected and vinified in the Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile bodega. Year after year, the subtle combination yields a round, complex and concentrated wine with attractively expressive fruit. The attack is powerful and complex. Supported by beautifully mature tannins, the rich and smooth mid-palate gradually reveals raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry flavours. It goes on to express a perfect marriage of ripe black fruit, fresh black pepper and spicy notes. The powerful and stylish finish reveals all the character of the Chilean terroir, combining the elegance of Cabernet with the roundness and powerful flavour of Syrah and Carmenere.
Escudo Rojo is the Hispanic translation of the German "Rote Schild", emblem of the family.
Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile, a wholly-owned Chilean subsidiary of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, was established to make the best Chilean wines in each category, and market them worldwide.

Its sober and elegant wood and steel architecture reflects the combination of the latest technology with the great French winemaking tradition. The wines are made, matured, bottled and packaged at the Baron Philippe de Rothschild Maipo Chile bodega under the supervision of a French winemaker and under the control of an in-house laboratory.
