Description
Ventisquero means glacier, paying homage to Chile’s icy mountains in Patagonia. Innovative and passionate, Ventisquero strive to create wines reflective of Chile’s unique climate and land. Pangea is the work of winemaker Felipe Tosso and John Duval, of Penfold’s Grange fame, carefully selecting specific Syrah parcels in Apalta. This wine had extended ageing, maturing for 22 months in extra-fine French oak barrels – half in new barrels and the other half in second-use. The wine was then bottle-aged for at least 18 months. Pangea is neither clarified nor filtered, so over time a sediment may appear.
Tasting Notes :
Pangea is a well-rounded, distinguished wine with delicious, complex aromas which come through in the mouth with soft notes of red and blue berries, harmoniously intermingled with spices like black pepper, dark chocolate and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel. This is a well-structured wine with plenty of acidity and ripe, firm tannins.
