Reviewed June 2025The combined talents of Felipe Tosso and Australian consultant John Duval are behind this impressive cuvée of Carmenère and 49% Syrah. Located at the fresher end of the spectrum for the Apalta Valley, it has a touch of subtle reduction, appealing mocha oak, supple tannins, blueberry and black cherry fruit, fine tannins and a refreshing, well-balanced finish.

Descorchados
Ventisquero has been producing Vertice since 2005, always from vineyards in Apalta, in the warm Colchagua Valley, and with a more or less equal percentage between carmenere and syrah. This year, the carmenere is at 52%, and the rest is syrah in a wine where sweet spices and candied red fruits dominate. The body is friendly, with no rough edges, the sensation of fluidity is always present, and the finish is juicy with ripe red fruits accompanied by notes of toasted oak. It was aged in 300-liter barrels for 18 months before bottling, and it shows.

Full-bodied and broad, with layers of walnut husks, dried earth, cassis, mint, chocolate and baked blueberries. Nicely complex and polished, with firm tannins that are well integrated into the dark fruit. A mineral edge. (CN)
