The 2023 Viña Ventisquero Queulat Carménère is a classic Maipo Valley red, crafted from 100% Carménère and aged in oak to enhance structure and complexity. It reflects a modern Chilean style that balances ripe fruit with freshness and smooth texture. The nose is rich and expressive, showing blackberry, plum and cherry, layered with spice, chocolate, coffee and subtle herbal notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a rounded, velvety mouthfeel and soft, integrated tannins. Flavours of dark fruit, spice and savoury elements lead to a smooth, generous and persistent finish. The style is approachable yet structured, offering depth without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a reliable, crowd-pleasing Carménère for customers looking for a smooth, fruit-forward red with a touch of spice and complexity. It’s ideal for everyday drinking or casual entertaining. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with grilled meats, BBQ, pasta or mildly spiced dishes.
