The Montes Wings Carmenère is one of Chile's top wines and comes from the exclusive vineyards of Finca Apalta in the Colchagua Valley. The vines grow on steep slopes, around 200 meters above the plains of the valley, on deep granite soils with a high clay content, excellent drainage and a south-westerly orientation. This unique combination ensures controlled temperatures during the hot summer days and a particularly even ripening of the grapes. The grapes are fully exposed through targeted foliage work, which increases the concentration of aromas and reduces the typical bitter substances of this variety.

The grapes are harvested by hand, individually selected and transported to the winery in 10 kg crates. During processing, the best grapes are first selected and destemmed before further selection of the berries takes place - only the optimally ripened grapes make it into the wine. This is followed by 5-7 days of cold maceration at 10 °C to gently extract aromas and color. Alcoholic fermentation is then carried out over 12-15 days at 26-29 °C with selected yeasts in order to preserve the characteristic properties of the Carmenère grape.

After fermentation, the red wine remains on the skins for a while to develop volume and depth before being filled into French oak barrels. 80% of the wine matures in new barrels, 20% in second to third use barrels, for a total of 16 months. This ageing gives the wine elegant tannins, depth and complexity.

In the glass, Montes Wings has a deep crimson color. The nose seduces with intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as plums, sour cherries and blackberries, complemented by fine spicy notes, cassis liqueur and hints of pastry. Subtle roasted aromas, vanilla, slightly sweet liqueur nuances and roasted nuts result from the long barrel ageing. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, silky and harmonious, with soft, perfectly integrated tannins and a long-lasting, complex finish.

This Carmenère is an excellent accompaniment to fine meat dishes, such as lamb chops with rosemary, pork ribs or refined cannelloni. It is also an ideal choice with braised beef dishes and autumnal game dishes. Serve at 17-19 °C and ideally decant about 30 minutes before drinking to allow the aromas to develop to their full potential.

Viña Montes

Aurelio Montes und Douglas Murray gründeten Viña Montes 1987 („Discover Wine“). Ein Jahr später kamen Alfredo Vidaurre und Pedro Grand hinzu. Alle verschrieben sich einem Traum: chilenische Weine auf eine höhere Qualitätsstufe zu heben. Der Erfolg stellte sich schnell ein: der erste Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon erntete 1987 schon große Anerkennung und etablierte sich als Spitzenwein genauso schnell wie Alphas Chardonnay, Merlot und Shiraz. Von Beginn an war Montes Alpha ein Synonym für höchste Qualität aus Chile. Das Weingut legt großen Wert darauf, eine Erfolgsgeschichte zu schreiben, die zu 100 Prozent chilenisch ist.

Viña Montes leistete Pionierarbeit in Apalta, einer für den Weinbau außergewöhnlich geeigneten Region im Colchagua-Tal. Die Kreationen, die aus diesen Lagen stammen, beeindruckten die Kritiker weltweit: der erste Ultra-Premium-Wein oder Super-Chilene Montes Alpha ‘M’ im klassischen Bordeaux-Stil wurde 1996 gefeiert. Beim Montes Folly – einem 100-prozentigen Shiraz – war das im Jahr 2000 nicht anders. Und auch der Purple Angel (92% Carménère), 2005 eingeführt, ist von Beginn an ein großer Erfolg.

La Finca de Apalta ist das Herzstück von Viña Montes. Auf 135 Hektar wachsen die Apalta -Trauben Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Shiraz, Malbec, Petit Verdot und Cabernet Franc. In jüngerer Zeit kamen Mourvèdre, Grenache und Carignan hinzu.

Product recommendation

Montes Alpha M
Montes Alpha M
MONTES ALPHA"M" is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A powerful wine with very good level of soft and rounded tannins. Intense dark red colour. The wine is elegant and has a very well defined character. The 5% of Petit Verdot is adding an extra element of complexity. There is an pleasant and harmonious marriage of fruit and the French oak. The structure of this wine will keep it for at least 20 years. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced, full-bodied and superbly voluptuous on the mid-palate with a rewarding, lingering after taste of mature grapes and acidity that reflects its superb structure.MONTES ALPHA "M" can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years (it will continue to improve in the bottle for at least 20 years).

Winemaking: Grapes are carefully hand picked. The clusters go through a grape by grape selection made by hand with a team of 14 people, in which only good fruit is allowed into the tank. During the 18 months of barrel aging in new French oak barrels, the wine is racked 3 times to get rid of lees, and allow some oxygen to interfere in the evolution and maturation of this wine.When the final blend is made, if the wine is totally clear, and has no microbiological pressure, there is no need for filtration or fining….so the wine goes unfiltered to the bottling process.Decant for at least an hour for better enjoyment, allowing the wine to open up.
