PRODUCTS NOTE
Montes was established in 1988 by Aurelio Montes, Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, with the aim to produce the best wines in Chile from the best regions. We have long admired Montes and what they have done for Chilean wine over the past 25 years. Their wines are consistently good because they are meticulous throughout the entire production process.At the apogee of Montes’ production, this belongs in their highest tier of wines. Produced from Montes’ own vineyards in the heart of the Colchagua Valley, Apalta and Marchigüe, it illustrates the potential Chile has to produce outstanding wine if yields are contained and the grapes are picked when fully ripe.
TASTING NOTE
Deep purple ruby red in colour. Elegant and complex, with intense ripe red and blue berries on the nose, giving way to a seductive pastry note. Coffee, chocolate, and well-integrated toast complement the fruit aromas. The creamy palate has hints of nutmeg. Balanced, with round tannins, tremendous structure, and a very long finish.
