Product Notes

Ventisquero Obliqua is a renowned Chilean wine, appreciated by true connoisseurs. Carefully crafted from grapes grown in the unique conditions of the Ventisquero vineyard, this wine balances complexity, depth, intensity with a hint of subtlety. It boasts a striking bouquet of dark fruits, spice and oak accents, followed by a well-structured palate, filled with ripe tannins. Perfect for savouring a distinctly South American nuance, its lingering finish adds to the overall pleasure. Ventisquero Obliqua offers an excellent choice whether enjoyed with a rich meal or appreciated on its own. A superb representation of Chile's rich winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes

Deep red in colour with violet hues. The nose presents notes of fresh red fruit like raspberries, intermingled with hints of white pepper and herbal notes, along with soft spice. In the mouth, this is a very elegant wine with firm structure and pronounced, chalky tannins, fresh acidity and it is well-balanced and long. This Carménère reflects Apalta’s higher-elevation vineyards and is atypical of Chilean Carménère because its origin in a high-altitude mountain vineyard has made it a nervous wine with great tension in the mouth. This is definitely a Carménère worth cellaring.
