NOTAS DE CATA
The wine presents a deep-red colour, with ruby tones. The aromas are principally of ripe black fruit, such as blackberry, blueberry, and a hint of plum, accompanied by complex spice aromas of black pepper, bell pepper, and olive, all nicely blended with the aromas from the time spent ageing in French oak, including vanilla, tobacco, and cedar. The palate is balanced and very structured, with full body. Thanks to the smooth, rounded tannins, this is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has excellent ageing potential.

ORIGEN:
Colchagua Valley
Colchagua is one of the Chilean wine valleys with the most international prestige, in which Viña Montes was a pioneer in establishing its production. This valley is located in the central zone of Chile, less than two hours driving from its capital, Santiago. Our beautiful vineyards are located in one of the best terroirs in the area, Apalta. Its unique characteristics and location, allow a mild exposure to the sun of the vines, which contributes to a slow, although more complete maturation of the grapes. In the same valley, between the Coastal Range and the sea, we find our Marchigüe vineyards, immersed in an undulating landscape that ends in the Pacific Ocean (25 km away), where our red grapes mature slowly under the influence of somewhat colder temperatures.
