Vintage Report

Immerse yourself in the rich flavors of Ventisquero GREY Chardonnay, a wine that embodies the essence of the cool climate of Chile's Casablanca Valley. This Chardonnay, with its full-bodied and powerful character, is the result of grapes perfectly ripened in this unique climate, making them ideal for oak aging.

The Creation of Ventisquero GREY Chardonnay

Viña Ventisquero, though relatively new to the wine world, has quickly established itself as a pioneer in modern wine production. Thanks to the vision of Gonzalo Vial, the driving force behind Chile's largest agribusiness, Agrosuper, this winery established itself in the Maipo Valley, expanding into Casablanca and Apalta Valleys. Their first harvest in 2001 was a testament to their dedication and hard work. The grapes are harvested in March, at the height of their aromatic richness. A careful cold maceration of 12-14 hours follows, with careful avoidance of air contact. Fermentation is a slow and controlled process at temperatures between 13 and 16 degrees Celsius, resulting in an explosion of characteristic aromas. A full 80% of this wine is aged in French oak barrels, 10% of which are new. The remaining 20% is stored in stainless steel vats to preserve the fruity essence. After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for another twelve months, with regular bâtonnage, which contributes to the aromatic depth.

Ventisquero GREY Chardonnay: A Flavor Explosion

The Ventisquero GREY Chardonnay sparkles in the glass with a bright, pale yellow hue. The aroma is a symphony of tropical fruits like papaya, mango, and pineapple, enhanced with subtle hints of vanilla and dried fruit, thanks to its French oak aging. On the palate, this Chardonnay is harmonious and full-bodied, with refreshing acidity and a soft finish of tropical fruit and vanilla. Perfect with oily fish like salmon or tuna, but also with white meat, pasta, and cheese. A toast to the excellence of the Ventisquero GREY Chardonnay!
