Obliqua Carmenere Ventisquero 17/19
First the grapes underwent a cool pre-fermentative maceration to bring out the maximum colour and aromas. Then the must was fermented in small stainless steel tanks and also in open vats. A classic fermentation took place with 2-3 pump-overs per day during the first half of the fermentation period and then once a day thereafter. After the fermentation was complete, the wine was kept over its skins for a post-fermentative maceration for 2 weeks. Then it was racked straight into second-use barrels and a foudre. The final blend is 94 % Carménère 4 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 % Petit Verdot.
Aging:
The wine was aged for 22 months: 70 % in extra-fine grain, second-use, 300-litre French oak barrels, and 30 % in a French oak foudre. The wine has then spent a minimum of 1 year in the bottle, before release

Tasting Notes:
Deep red in colour with violet hues. The nose presents notes of fresh red fruit like raspberries, intermingled with hints of white pepper and herbal notes, along with soft spice. In the mouth, this is a very elegant wine with firm structure and pronounced, chalky tannins, fresh acidity and it is well-balanced and long. This Carménère reflects Apalta’s higher-elevation vineyards and is atypical of Chilean Carménère because of its origin in a high-altitude mountain vineyard which has given this wine its backbone and strength with great tension in the mouth. This is definitely a Carménère worth cellaring.
