Tim Atkin MW (95)A welcome addition to Ventisquero's impressive line-up of icon reds, Obliqua is a varietal Carmenère made with ungrafted fruit from Block 23, located at 485 metres. Aged in second[1]use oak and foudres, this has lively brightness, focus and texture, showing the hand of Aussie consultant John Duval working alongside Felipe Tosso. Scented, subtle and complex, with graphite and green herb undertones, it's a wine that could easily be mistaken for a top Cabernet Franc. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)Vértice - summit in English - is a reference to the comparative altitude of this vineyard, at least for the Apalta Valley, as it is located between 400 and 485 metres. An unusual blend of Carmenère and 48% Syrah, this has a combination of weight, focus and intensity, with some pepper spice, toasty oak, granular tannins and blackberry and raspberry fruit. |
