Montes

New Launch - Montes Wings

Montes always seeks to go further. This time, Montes wanted to go higher. Going beyond wisdom is daring, and requires two wings to fly. This new product represents a creative flight of two generations, the founder Aurelio Montes and his namesake son Aurelio, to bring life to a unique carmenère.

The wine shows a deep red colour, with the purple undertones very characteristic of Carmenère. The intense nose reveals aromas of black fruit, such as blackberry and blueberry, accompanied by pleasing spice notes of bell pepper and black pepper, joined by sweet notes from the French oak barrels, delivering a very complex wine. The rounded palate of the wine shows extreme smoothness and potency, with a very long, pleasant finish.

The Pioneer of Premium Chilean Wines

The history of Montes dates back to 1988. Four partners, led by Aurelio Montes, decided to realize their dream of crafting Chilean wines a quantum-leap higher in quality, using sustainable methods.

Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon 1987, the first ‘premium’ wine to be exported from Chile, was a mould-breaker: a brand synonymous with premium quality that raised the bar for other Chilean producers. The first Chilean ‘ultra-premium’ followed: Montes Alpha ‘M’ (Bordeaux style); then Montes Folly in 2000 (pure Syrah); and lastly, Purple Angel (perfect example of Chilean Carmenère), in 2005.

In 2013, as part of the 25th Anniversary, Montes launched Taita, their ‘super icon’ wine, in which they blend the best from their vineyards.

With key markets in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, they have a widespread international presence in more than 110 countries. Their goal is that in every good restaurant, hotel or wine store, Montes wines should be available for the most discerning wine lovers.
