Ventisquero Obliqua Carmenere

Ventisquero has the only wines in the world from the Atacama desert, making wines further north than any other winery in Chile. Ventisquero makes wines in all other cardinal points, the west, east and south making them a winery of diversity and distinction. They are family owned, with 100% estate vineyards and one of the founding wineries to push the sustainability movement in Chile. With award winning Chief winemaker Felipe Tosso at the helm and world recognised winemaker John Duval, they continue to take Ventisquero ‘a step beyond’.

Ventisquero means glacier, paying homage to Chile's icy mountains in Patagonia. Innovative and passionate, Ventisquero strive to create wines reflective of Chile's unique climate and land.

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.
