Description
Description
Ventisquero Grey GCM is an elegant and expressive blend of Garnacha, Cariñena, and Mataro from the renowned Colchagua Valley. This distinctive wine combines freshness, depth, and complexity, offering layers of red fruits, cassis, and black pepper, balanced by subtle earthy notes reminiscent of forest floor. Crafted with precision and care, it perfectly captures the spirit of the Apalta terroir and the finesse of Mediterranean varietals grown in Chilean soil.
Meet the Producer
Ventisquero, meaning glacier in Spanish, takes inspiration from Chile’s wild landscapes and diverse climates. Under the guidance of winemaker Felipe Tosso, the winery focuses on innovation, sustainability, and the authentic expression of terroir. The Grey collection represents the essence of single-block vineyards, each wine a tribute to its origin and crafted with exceptional attention to detail.
Production
Grapes are hand-selected in the vineyard, with 50% of the clusters crushed before fermentation. The must undergoes a three to five-day pre-fermentative maceration to enhance colour and aroma. Fermentation follows at low temperatures between 22°C and 26°C in small, open containers with gentle daily pump-overs. A post-fermentative maceration of up to two weeks ensures fine, well-integrated tannins.
Maturation
The wine is aged for approximately one year in 2,500-litre French oak foudres, allowing subtle oak influence while preserving purity, texture, and fruit expression.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, this blend opens with vibrant aromas of red cherry, plum, and cassis, layered with black pepper and hints of forest floor. The palate is refined and balanced, with lively acidity, polished tannins, and a long, elegant finish.
Food Match
Best served between 14°C and 17°C, ideally decanted 30 minutes before serving. Perfect with cured meats, Serrano ham, sausages, lamb, or pork—or simply enjoyed on a sunny terrace with friends.
