Product Notes

Baron Philippe de Rothschild's Escudo Rojo Reserva Sauvignon Blanc hails from beautiful Chilean vineyards. This impeccable wine radiates a lively lemon hue and offers an engaging nose of grapefruit, peach, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it presents a well-balanced blend of acidity and minerality, with a hint of the tropical fruitiness characteristic of a high-quality Sauvignon Blanc. Aged meticulously, it culminates in a long, refreshing finish. This elegant, complex wine is perfect for refined palates and pairs splendidly with light dishes or enjoyed as an exceptional standalone aperitif.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens on powerful citrus fruit aromas, followed on airing by delicate notes of white blossom and tropical fruit. The refined and fresh attack reveals subtle notes of white blossom and guava, leading into an intense and dense midpalate marked by an explosion of citrus fruit flavors recalling the aromas found on the nose. White blossom flavors return on the elegantly mineral finish.
