Product Description
The Kalfu range are linked to the sea creatures depicted on the labels: Kuda – In the case of the seahorse or hippocampus, the female lays her eggs and then the male takes care of them until the new seahorses emerge fully developed. Unlike other sea creatures, sea horses are delicate and unique, so they need to be cherished. Made by Viña Ventisquero, Kalfu means ‘blue’ in Mapudungun, the language of the aboriginal Mapuche people of southern Chile, representing the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean and the extensive skies of the region. Kalfu wines are made from 100% estate owned vineyards in the coastal regions of Leyda Valley, Casablanca Valley, Colchagua Valley and the Atacama Desert, the world’s driest desert. Situated so close to the Pacific, each vineyard site benefits from cooling coastal breezes and a subsequently longer ripening period, producing great fruit forward wines of exceptional quality.
Straw yellow in colour with light green hues. The bouquet shows citrus and tropical fruit aromas, such as grapefruit, pineapple and pear intermingle with gentle mineral and herbal notes. Elegant and well-structured, this wine is fresh thanks to its crisp acidity, which contributes a clean and persistent finish.
