Why We Love This Wine

Founded in the late 1990s by fresh food business mogul Gonzalo Vial, Vina Ventisquero began making wine in the year 2000 with a single purpose of creating distinctive, high quality wines that resonate with their target audience globally. Under the guidance of Chief Winemaker Felipe Tosso, the Winery was 1st established in the coastal Maipo Valley shortly followed by expansion into the Casablanca Valley and the prestigious Apalta Valley for their premium wine range. Continually undergoing extensive research to extract the most accurate expressions of Chile's unique terroir, Vina Ventisquero now counts Estate Vineyards in the country's top wine producing areas: Maipo Valley, Casablanca Valley, Apalta Valley, Leyda, and the Colchagua Valley. This Chilean Merlot opens up with a wonderfully complex & spicy bouquet showcasing classic characteristics of ripe red plums, black pepper, & a touch of sweet spice. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced & smooth with powerful fruit & spice flavors that lead to a lingering & satisfying finish.

Winemaker / Tasting Notes

A wine with very ripe, dried black fruit and traces of vanilla. It has mature, silky tannins and ample body.
