TASTE NOTE
Tasting Notes

The nose is intense with aromas of fresh red and black fruits such as strawberries, plums, and figs. Spicy notes recalling nutmeg and black pepper intermingle very well with aromas from the French oak barrels along with a touch of dark chocolate, tobacco, and toasted nuts. The palate is smooth and very harmonious. The soft, round tannins lend a very pleasing sweet sensation to the mid-palate. With medium volume and rich natural acidity, this Merlot reaches an elegant finish with moderately fruity persistence.

Montes

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 Classic wines are true ambassadors, representing the outstanding value Chile can offer for everyday drinking. Grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery with the utmost care, to keep bunch damage to an absolute minimum. Montes Classic Series grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
