Product Notes

Ventisquero Heru - Pinot Noir is a delightful wine that hails from the stunning Casablanca Valley in Chile. This elegant and refined Pinot Noir exudes a deep ruby red color, enticing the senses with its rich aromas of black cherries, raspberries, and subtle hints of spice. On the palate, it offers a velvety smooth texture, showcasing flavors of ripe red fruits, delicate floral notes, and a touch of vanilla. The well-balanced acidity and soft tannins provide a harmonious and lingering finish. With its graceful complexity, Ventisquero Heru - Pinot Noir is a perfect companion to roasted duck, grilled salmon, or creamy mushroom risotto.

Tasting Notes

This wine is deep ruby in colour. The nose opens with the classic red fruit, such as strawberries and wild raspberries, typical of this noble variety. Notes of vanilla and spices intermingle subtly with a delicate minerality, making this a delightful and complex wine. The mouth reveals intense, fruity flavours and tannins which are ripe, well-rounded and integrated into the elegant structure. Long in the finish. The French oak frames the expressiveness of this distinctive and elegant wine.

About the Winery

Ventisquero is one of Chile’s leading premium wineries. A project that began in 1998 with the first Ventisquero wines being released in 2001. Since the beginning, owner Don Gonzalo Vial and his family have been pushing the status quo and always looking “a step beyond”.

With 100% estate vineyards, and one of the founding wineries to push the sustainability movement in Chile, it was only a matter of time before they set sights on a new project.

Tara was born in 2008, when they dared to plant its first vines in the Huasco Valley right in the midst of the Atacama Desert. The first year, all vines died due to incredibly salty soils. This is the driest desert on earth, and so the winemakers soon learnt that this was extreme viticulture, and it was like planting vines on Mars.

The Tara project produces the only commercial wines from the Atacama desert, making wines further north than any other winery in Chile. The vines grow not only on salty soils, but with a high limestone content adding to the minerality. The yields are highly restricted due to the soils, the very strong winds that blow from the nearby Pacific Ocean and the lack of rain. Some vines even produce as low as 18hl/ha.

The wines are pressed by feet and bottled by hand. Even the wax covering the cork is done manually. They are bottled unfiltered and unfined and there are no additions to these wines. Just a small amount of sulfur is added to maintain the wines freshness. Due to the very consistent and reliable climate, there is no need for chemicals or pesticides in the vineyard.

The wines are made in small quantities and truly are a reflection of terroir.
