Ventisquero Grey Glacier Merlot Colchagua Valley is a Silk, intense and oaky wine. Full of Chocolate, spice (all things nice) and plenty of smooth dark fruits and berries, this is a supreme late night red, good with deep hearty dishes and a good steak.
The grapes are hand harvested and cared for, kept cool to preserve maximum aromas and colours in the fresh fruits ready for wine making. Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 18 months in ultra-fine grain French oak barrels, 33% first use, to enhance the final complexity of the wine and nurture a silky texture. Finally, the wine was bottle-aged for 8 months before being released.
