Product notes

Among the most prolific producers of premium wines in Chile, the Montes Alpha estate offers here a cuvée in which half the juice was aged in French oak barrels for a year. Unaltered by this barrel aging, this Syrah releases the fruity, floral, and spicy profile expected of the grape variety, while also adding a luscious and refreshing character. Sublime with lamb or game dishes.

Production notes

Harvest: March 28 to April 28 Partial aging (55%) in new and 2-3 year old French oak barrels for approximately 12 months. Montes uses sustainable drip irrigation techniques.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby ​​red. An expressive nose offering aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and figs. Hints of crème de cassis, leather, and dark chocolate are also present. The flavors are balanced, with noticeable acidity and velvety tannins, an extraordinary structure, and a generous body. The finish is long and complex.
