- Vibrant pea shoots and asparagus aromas with lovely pure minerality, super fresh, concentrated and long. Zesty citrus aromas and an attractive hint of nettles lead to a real depth of flavour on the palate, with an intense mineral character and a long, vibrant finish. The summer season was moderately warm, with clear days. During the month of March, the weather turned quite cloudy with morning mists. This cooler weather resulted in fruit with a very good balance between alcohol and acidity, along with a vibrant aromatic profile.
The grapes are grown in two southeast-facing blocks. Canopy management in the vineyard ensures the protection of the grapes from extreme sun exposure. The high humidity level combined with the cooling effect from the sea provides a moderate climate for the vines. The vines are grown in heat-retaining granite and alluvial soil.

| Winery | Ventolera is an exciting new venture between founder Vicente Izquierdo and one of Chile's top winemakers, Stefano Gandolini. The vineyard, which was planted in 1999, is located in the region of the Leyda Valley, just six kilometres from the Pacific Ocean. The area is being singled out as Chile's newest and most radical cool-climate wine region, strongly influenced by the cooling effects of the Humboldt Current that flows up from the Antarctic. ‘Ventolera’ is a Spanish word which refers to this strong sea wind; its cooling influence is instrumental in producing wonderfully elegant wines. |
