The palate is bright and juicy - blackberries and plums are balanced by soft tannins, juicy acidity, and a touch of pepper.
Awards

Alan's Personal Tasting Notes
"This is a bit of a revelation. Loadsa ripe, juicy black fruits with more a touch of herbs than spice I think? Really soft tannins and a touch more serious than I expected. Overall a real pleasant surprise. Medium-bodied, soft, juicy & fruity, and would be really versatile with food although it drinks really easily on its own. Value but also decent quality for a crowd pleasing easy-drinking style." June 2022

2024 Ventisquero Explorador Merlot
Regular price £9.99"Ventisquero Explorador - the adventure begins- pays homage to the Exploradores
glacier (or "Ventisquero" in spanish) in Southern Chile and all the adventurers who begin
the tour of our wines."
Tasting Notes
It offers a vibrant, youthful aroma of plum, cherry, and cassis with a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with silky tannins that beautifully blend the fruit and oak.
Vinification
The selected clusters were transported to the winery, where they underwent a
low-temperature pre-fermentative maceration o bring out the maximum colour and
aromas. Then the must was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled
temperature of between 24°C and 26°C.
Producer

further north than any other winery in Chile. Ventisquero makes wines in all other
cardinal points, the west, east and south making them a winery of diversity and
distinction. They are family owned, with 100% estate vineyards and one of the founding
wineries to push the sustainability movement in Chile. With award winning Chief
winemaker Felipe Tosso at the helm and world recognised winemaker John Duval, they
continue to take Ventisquero ‘a step beyond’.
Alan's Personal Tasting Note
"Medium bodied with lovely, ripe multicolour fruits. I get cherry, plum, blackberry and strawberry, with a hint of pepper and spice, all wrapped up in a smooth, soft, velvety finish. It’s entry level price but not entry level flavours which means it overdelivers in value terms." April 2026
