Viña Ventisquero, Vertice, Apalta, Colchagua Valley, 2015

An unashamedly extrovert wine whose effusive, creamy, ripe-fruited aromas belie the elegant, food-friendly palate profile that follows. It can come across as a blockbuster style, but it’s not: dense, elegantly bittersweet dark fruit and savoury woody spice, together with fresh acidity and fine-grained tannin, render it moreish and fine.
