4.4 On Vivino for the 2018 vintage
A superb Carmenere Syrah blend from Ventisquero sourced from vineyards on the upper slopes of the Apalta. This wine has a firm structure and silky tannins. Its black fruit and spicy flavours, together with medium to high acidity lend it balance in the mouth and persistence in the finish.
Ageing: The wine was aged for 22 months in 300 liters ultra-fine grain French oak barrels, 40% of them new and the rest second and third use. Then it was bottle-aged for at least 14 months. Technical data: Alcohol by volume: 14.5 %GL pH: 3.35 Acidity: 5.56 g/L (Tartaric Acid). Residual sugar: 1.75 g/L
Ageing potential: This wine can be enjoyed now, but it has the potential to be aged for at least 15 years.
This wine is superb paired with spicy food, such as Indian, Thai, Mexican and Spanish cuisine and other more complex dishes. It also goes well with semi-ripe cheese and strongly flavoured meat such as wild boar and venison
