From the cooler part of Colchagua, it combines ripe fruit, elegance, and fine structure, making it one of the most distinguished bottlings from Los Vascos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Le Dix shows a deep, concentrated colour that hints at its depth and intensity. The nose is layered and refined, offering dark fruit, subtle spice, and well-integrated oak notes that add complexity rather than overpowering the wine.\n\nOn the palate, it is supple yet structured, with silky tannins, fresh balance, and a long, harmonious finish. The wine’s carefully managed extraction and French oak ageing give it both finesse and ageing potential, and it should continue to develop beautifully with further bottle maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLe Dix comes from Los Vascos’ estate in the cooler zone of Colchagua, where the vineyards benefit from Mediterranean conditions and the natural cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before destemming, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Gentle remontage is used during maceration when needed to achieve soft tannin and colour extraction, followed by natural malolactic fermentation in tank and 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an excellent match for grilled red meats, roast lamb, game, and rich dishes with herbs or peppery sauces. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decanting for 1-2 hours is recommended to let the wine fully open, especially in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLos Vascos is one of Chile’s best-known wine estates, located in Colchagua and long recognised for its premium Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines.
