Ventisquero - Grey Glacier - Carménère - 2019 | Chilean Red Wine

Ventisquero produce the Grey range of wines to showcase the varietal purity produced in particular regions of Chile. This Carmenere is grown in a single vineyard in the Maipo valley. The fruit is harvested by hand and brought to the winery where only 50% of the fruit is crushed into a temperature controlled tank (the rest is added as whole bunches). After 35 days of fermentation and post-fermentation maceration the wine is racked into barrels for malolactic conversion and maturation.

The wine is matured in French oak barrels (34% new) for 18 months. The wine is then bottled and stored at the winery for a further 8 months in bottle before release.
