One of South America's most highly-regarded producers. Chairman and Head Winemaker Aurelio Montes takes all this in his globe-straddling stride. Together with the late Douglas Murray, Aurelio started the ball rolling in 1987 to showcase to the world Chile's hitherto untapped potential for premium winemaking, and Montes continues to set the benchmark. 'The best all-round winery in South America' - Wine Spectator 'Winemaker of the Year 2006' - Tim Atkin (The Guardian) in 2006 'One of the best for its price anywhere in the world' - Decanter on Montes Alpha Cabernet

Aromatic nose with outstanding aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberries and figs. Aromas of crème de cassis meld with mild notes of leather and dark chocolate, which are very characteristic of Syrah from Colchagua. The palate is well balanced with rich acidity, incredibly smooth tannins, tremendous structure, and generous volume.
