Description

Ventisquero Wine Estates’ Grey (Glacier) Carménère is a bold and elegant red wine from Chile’s Maipo Valley. Deep cherry red with violet hues, it offers aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and black cherries, layered with pepper, spices, and graphite. On the palate, it is smooth and fresh, with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, refined finish. This wine is an exceptional expression of Carménère, perfect for lovers of complex, structured reds.

History and Winemaking

Hand-harvested from the Maipo Valley’s unique sandy-clay soils, this wine underwent a meticulous winemaking process, including 18 months aging in French oak barrels (34% new oak) and 8 months in bottle. Ventisquero’s sustainable practices ensure both quality and respect for the environment.
