Tasting Note

Producer Information
Head Winemaker Felipe Tosso joined Vina Ventisquero in 2000. After seriously considering alternate careers as a tennis pro and classical guitarist, he elected to enter the wine business, describing it as one of his big passions because its more than work its a lifestyle. Winemaking travels have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, Argentina, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, back to Concha Y Toro in Chile and then finally to Vina Ventisquero. In 2003, Felipe began a close collaboration with John Duval in the production of icon wines Pangea and Vertice, a partnership that continues to this day.
The Ventisquero Cabernet Sauvignon Clasico wine is from our land buds passion. Vina Ventisquero produces high-quality avant-garde, modern wines with grapes from our own vineyards in Chile’s most important wine-producing regions.
Production Information
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.
The selected clusters were transported to the winery, where they underwent a low-temperature pre-fermentative maceration to bring out the maximum colour and aromas. Then the must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of between 26°C and 28°C.
30% of this wine was aged for 4 months in French and American oak barrels. The wine was then bottle-aged for 6 months.
Intense red and black fruit flavours with notes of chocolate.
