Ventisquero- Obliqua Apalta Carmenere 2019 (750ml)

Deep ruby with violet reflections. Aromatically precise, showing fresh red fruit—raspberry and red currant—layered with white pepper, dried herbs, and subtle savory spice. The palate is taut and focused, marked by firm, chalky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a linear, mountain-driven structure. Excellent balance and tension carry through to a long, mineral-tinged finish. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in Apalta, this Carménère departs from the variety’s usual plush profile, presenting instead a nervous, energetic expression shaped by altitude. Built for development, this is a Carménère worthy of cellaring.
