It marries Bordeaux winemaking heritage with Chile’s terroirs. The Baronesa P. cuvée was created in honour of Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, designed to be the flagship wine sourced from the best parcels and micro-terroirs of Escudo Rojo’s vineyards. Growth in reputation has been marked by careful vineyard selection, mature vines, and precision of blending. The wine embodies Escudo Rojo’s commitment to combining power and elegance, expressing both fruit richness and ageing structure.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eProduced by Baron Philippe de Rothschild Chile under the Escudo Rojo label. The winemaking team combines local vineyard expertise with technical direction aligned with Rothschild standards. Grapes are sourced from micro-parcels in Maipo Valley (and other contributing soils), handharvested, sorted, and vinified to maximize varietal character. Blending is done carefully; aging in oak barrels is part of the regimen to bring structure and complexity while maintaining freshness and terroir expression. Lead oenologist oversees oak selection, fermentation protocols, and barrel maturity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eVineyards for Baronesa P. are located primarily in Maipo Valley, with soils that are alluvial and gravelly in parts where Cabernet Sauvignon thrives; other components of the blend derive from parcels with clay and sun exposure suited for varietals like Carmenère, Petit Verdot. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot daytime sun moderated by cooling breezes from the Andes, and with significant diurnal temperature variation helping to preserve acidity. These micro-climates contribute to aromatic freshness and structural balance in the wine.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAfter harvest, grapes are handpicked and sorted. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, followed by ageing in barrel. For the 2022 vintage of Baronesa P., aging lasts about \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e15 months\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, with just over half of the oak used being new. Oak type is French. The rest of the blend is matured in slightly older barrels to achieve depth without overly dominating wood flavor.

Use a large Bordeaux-style red wine glass to allow aromas to open. Decanting is recommended for 30-45 minutes to soften tannins and help aromatics develop.
