Ventisquero Grey Glacier Pinot Noir 2019

Ventisquero 'Grey' Glacier Las Terrazas Vineyard (Single Block 22) Pinot Noir, Leyda Valley, Chile, 2019

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, 12 months' ageing in French oak barrels

Deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose initially reveals aromas of black and red berries, such as murtillas, cranberries, black plums and raspberries. The palate has balanced acidity and flavours of juicy black fruit, along with smooth, well-rounded tannins sustained by the notes of soft French oak

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Grown on the granitic soils in the hills of the Coastal Mountain Range in the Leyda Valley and five kilometers from the sea, this wine has a very good relationship between its flavors of ripe red fruits and the tension between firm tannins and juicy acidity that's created on the palate. Those three aspects make it very drinkable, but it also does a very good job of representing the cool climate, where these grapes ripen. A pinot to begin to understand the pinot that Ventisquero makes"
