From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Pruning is extensive in the vineyard in the heart of the Maipo Valley wine region. This is where the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this GREY Ventisquero are grown. Because pruning is intensive and the vineyard's perfect location yields the finest Cabernet grapes in the country.

From the very beginning, respect for nature has been central to Ventisquero. They operate in an environmentally friendly manner, for example, by significantly limiting water use, offsetting CO2 emissions from transport, and preserving the environment as much as possible when planting new vineyards. This approach made them the first in Chile to receive the "Sustainable Wine of Chile" green certification, making them a leader in modern winemaking in Chile. Harvesting the grapes is also meticulously handled. After harvesting, the grapes are rigorously selected and then destemmed. Only the finest juice is suitable, thus ensuring the winery's high quality.

All grapes are harvested by hand and vinified together. A pre-fermentative maceration process is carried out for five days at low temperatures between eight and ten degrees Celsius to achieve greater extraction of color and aroma from the skins. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation is complete, post-fermentation maceration takes place, allowing for greater concentration and structure in the wine. One hundred percent of this wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels containing extra-fine grains, before finally being aged in bottle for another eight months. This isn't just any traditional Cabernet Sauvignon. It's intensely aromatic and spicy. A deep ruby ​​red color characterizes this wine. Hints of black pepper, spices, and red berry emerge on the nose. French oak lends intense aromas of caramel and vanilla. The wine has an elegant structure with ample body and a very long finish.
