VentisqueroColchagua Valley, Chile
Why you'll love it
A collaboration between Chilean winemaker Felipe Tosso and Australia's John Duval (ex-Penfolds), this wine showcases Apalta's granitic soils and high-altitude vineyards. It's a structured, age-worthy Syrah that reflects both terroir and craftsmanship.
A bold, full-bodied Syrah with layers of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, and black pepper. Hints of vanilla and caramel from 18 months in French oak add depth. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity lead to a long, spicy finish.
Grilled lamb, venison, or rich stews. Decanting recommended to fully appreciate its complexity.
Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State
A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.
Chile
Part of the Rapel Valley, south of Santiago, and one of Chile's best-known red wine regions. Warm and sunny, it suits full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Syrah and Malbec. Vineyards nearer the coast are now adding fresher styles too. Rich, ripe, polished reds with real crowd appeal.
