Aromatic nose with outstanding aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and figs. Aromas of crème de cassis meld with mild notes of leather and dark chocolate, which are very characteristic of Syrah from Colchagua.The palate is well balanced with rich acidity, incredibly smooth tannins, tremendous structure, and generous volume.
The Montes Winery is right in the heart of Apalta, a beautiful area of the Colchagua Valley. This large, modern winery is impressive with its inventive design, feng shui approach and Gregorian chants played to mature barrels.
The first activities at vineyard began in 1987. Two partners with great dreams, Aurelio Montes, head winemaker and Douglas Murray, both with long-standing experience in the wine industry.The first premium wine that brought fame to the winery, was the Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon which is still produced today. Several of the Montes wines continue to score 90+ points through the Wine Advocate and Wine Enthusiast.
Montes Alpha, the pioneer wine that showed the way to all other Chilean premium wines. It remains #1 in the Chilean premium wine niche, having proven early on our credibility as a world-class premium wine producer. All our Alpha wines have received 'Top Scoring' and 'Best Value' from the influential Wine Spectator magazine: quite an achievement for Chilean wines at this price level.
