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 possesses a very intense nose with prevalent strawberry fruit & ripe plums kissed with a touch of oak & chocolate from extended barrel aging. A complex, full-bodied, & boldly structured wine, it has a full mouthfeel & elegant, powder fine tannins culminating in a smooth & persistent finish.

Winemaker / Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red wine with aromas of prune and black fruit mixed in with traces of vanilla. A rich structure of ripe, long-lasting tannins make it smooth and silky.
