2016 | Viña Ventisquero | Vertice

Deep red with violet hues. The nose reveals black fruit, such as blackberries, intermingled with gentle spices, such as black pepper, damp earth, notes of native forest and a hint of graphite and soft spices.This wine has a firm structure and silky tannins. Its black fruit and spicy flavors, together with medium to high acidity lend it balance in the mouth and persistence in the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A red blend from Apalta in Colchagua, the 2016 Vertice Apalta Vineyard is always approximately the same percentage of each grape, and in the cool and rainy 2016 vintage, it comes through as very spicy with the Carmenere dominating the aromatics.

• James Suckling: This blend of carmenere and syrah shows plenty of blue fruit and blackberries with hints of lavender, too. Medium-to full-bodied, tight and chewy with an aftertaste of gun metal and dark berries.

Producer Information

Ventisquero began making wine in 2000. Today, the winery is led by a young, creative team of entrepreneurs who guide us to a single purpose: creating distinctive, high quality wines. They look for innovative ways to communicate with their target audience and to market our products around the world. Under the guidance of head winemaker Felipe Tosso, the winery was built in the Coastal Maipo Valley, where grapes for their first wines were produced. Three years later, they ventured into the Casablanca Valley and the prestigious Apalta Valley, the source today for Vina Ventisquero's premium wines. With estate-owned vineyards in Chile's top wine producing areas – Coastal Maipo, Casablanca, Leyda and Colchagua – and extensive research to uncover the secrets of the country's unique terroir, Vina Ventisquero seeks to produce wines of the highest quality and consistency.
