Viña Ventisquero, Kalfu Kuda Pinot Noir, Leyda Valley, 2017

This little brother to Herú (wine No2, on previous page) reflects similar characteristics: a focus on freshness, elegance, varietal character and that very particular Pinot Noir tannic grip. It’s earthy, a touch warming on the finish (reflective of the warm vintage) with creamy notes still evident, but it’s wonderfully urgent, tense and food-friendly.
