Emoción Classico Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2018
Emoción Classico is a terrific blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon resulting in a deep and satisfying red wine bursting with expressive fruit aromas and finishing with subtle tannins.
The Rothschild dynasty goes back to its founder Mayer Amschel Rothschild in the 18th century, but their passion for wine was kindled in 1868 when James de Rothschild acquired Chateau Lafite. The family now own and run vineyards all over the world and their Argentinian estate, Flechas de los Andes, was first planted in vines in 1999 with the sole purpose of producing some of the best wines in South America.
The vineyard is situated at 1100 metres above sea level with a continental climate ideal for viticulture, although the surrounding area consists mainly of rocks, gravel and granite boulders. A recent collaboration between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault, both great wine lovers, has resulted in the 2018 Emocion Classico.
