Heru 2021

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.

FERMENTATION: The grapes first underwent a cold maceration for around a week to draw out the colour and aromas. Then they were fermented in small open tanks at controlled temperatures of between 22ºC and 26ºC.

AGEING: All of this wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels: 25% of them new Bordeaux barrels, 35% second use and 40% third use. BOTTLE-AGEING: 6 months.

This wine pairs well with oily fish, pasta dishes, creamed soups and mature cheese.
