The nose features standout ripe tropical fruit aromas of pineapple and banana accompanied by white fruits that recall peaches, while the coastal climate makes itself felt in the subtle notes of artichoke hearts.The palate is quite fresh, but with generous volume, very enjoyable acidity, and a wonderfully persistent finish.
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 Special Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are a new milestone that came to life as a result of the self imposed challenge set by our team of viticulturists and winemakers, headed by Aurelio Montes, to elevate our quality, crafting a new generation of wines superior to Montes Alpha.
