Montes Alpha Pinot Noir

Beautiful and delicate ruby-red in colour. Intense and elegant bouquet, with predominance of strawberry and flowery notes, that together make this Pinot Noir a very lively, harmonious and generous wine. The palate is clean, well balanced, with soft rounded tannins and a good level of vibrant acidity. Long on the palate and shows well-integrated, balanced oak. Very lightly filtered, making the aromas and colour very expressive of Pinot Noir.

The first activities at our vineyard began in 1987. Two partners with great illusions, Aurelio Montes and Douglas Murray, both holding long-standing experience in the wine industry, were certain Chile could improve on the quality it was producing at the time. It seemed as if the large and medium-scale vineyards were satisfied with limiting their distribution to local supermarkets. They certainly knew how to produce premium wines, but didn’t feel up to it, they were satisfied with the niche markets they had attained, which was certainly broad, although small. In 1988, another two original partners joined in, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, each providing their qualified, complimentary views, and thus, Viña Montes was formally born, initially under the name Discover Wine Ltda., a saga that has made Chile internationally known in 75 countries worldwide while providing extensive recognition and acclaim. Montes Winery has a vision; this vision includes delivering to each and everyone of its fine wine consumers worldwide, the satisfaction engaged in tasting a first class Chilean wine, loyal to its terroir and the splendid savor created by our winemaker Aurelio Montes.
