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.

Heru is crafted from just 1 hectare on a hillside in Casablanca, where only Pinot Noir is grown. This complex wine is full of classic red fruit typical of the grape variety, and subtle notes of vanilla and spice, imparted by just over a year in a mix of new and old oak, intermingle with a delicate minerality. This flagship wine is elegant and distinctive.
