Description
- Ripe red & black fruit
- Creme de cassis
- Toast & pastry
- Sweet tannins
Deep ruby-red in colour, with violet tones. The nose is elegant and complex with aromas of very well-blended ripe red and black fruit. Aromas of creme de cassis, tobacco, and black pepper stand out against a backdrop of toast and pastry notes. The palate is smooth but well-structured, which makes this wine a pleasure to drink now, but with years of cellaring potential ahead of it. Its round and near-sweet tannins balance very well with the acidity. Generous volume on the mid-palate of our 2017 Montes Alpha delivers a lasting and elegant finish.
Montes Alpha are located in the Colchagua Valley, primarily at the Apalta Estate, with additional sourcing from the Marchige property. The origin of the soils in these two areas is granite at differing degrees of decomposition. Both have considerable variation in clay content, depth, and quantity of organic matter.
