Cabernet Sauvignon
Ventisquero Enclave Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Cellar for up to 11 years. No need to decant before serving.
One of Chile’s rising stars, Ventisquero started making wine in 2000 and today has vineyards in many of the country’s finest wine regions including Colchagua, the Coastal Maipo valleys, Lolol and Leyda. The winery is named after the enigmatic Patagonian glacier in southern Chile, a reference to Ventisquero’s commitment to respecting nature and producing beautiful wines inspired by exceptional terroir.
This is Ventisquero’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon which is grown on two plots at 750-1000 metres above sea level. Vines growing at this altitude tend to produce wonderfully intense and aromatic grapes thanks to the large temperature variation between the hot days and cooler nights. This ensures a long ripening period for the grapes, creating complex, concentrated flavours and remarkably smooth and well-rounded tannins.
In the winery there is high attention to detail with a long, slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels before bottling. Reminiscent of a fine Left Bank Bordeaux, this is an elegant and well-defined Cabernet which is bursting with ripe dark fruit along with hints of leather, dried herbs and forest undergrowth. The generous full body and firm tannins make this a great wine to pair with red meat dishes or to cellar for a few more years if desired.
