Product Notes

Ventisquero Tara White Wine 1 is a luxurious Chardonnay originating from the high altitude vineyards of Atacama Desert, Chile. This elegant white wine boasts a golden hue and a distinct minerality, reminiscent of its desert birthplace. It offers an expertly balanced bouquet of tropical fruit, toasted nuts, and a touch of creaminess, underpinned by a sharp, crisp acidity. On the palate, it enchants with intoxicating flavours of fresh pears and rich butterscotch, rounded as you savour its lengthy, complex finish. Perfect for sophisticated wine enthusiasts who appreciate a sublime expression of terroir. Truly, an appealing Chilean gem.

Tasting Notes

It's a fresh, nervous, mineral wine. The mouth is tense and well-structured. The chalkiness and salinity of the soil come through in the palate. The nose reveals fruit, such as sweet cucumbers and apricots, as well as floral notes. As you sip the wine, it evolves in the glass. This is not a classic style of Chardonnay and we attribute this to its very particular and unique terroir. The Pacific Ocean has a major influence on the vineyard, producing morning fog, known locally as the “Camanchaca”, and strong winds, which cool the vines, making this a desert with cool climate conditions. The area is very arid and the soils are chalky and saline.
