Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon – Carmenère is sourced from Montes two estate vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe. The Finca Apalta Estate vineyard features diverse soils with areas that are influenced by the Tinguiririca River, while other portions are influenced by mudslides and material that has fallen from the mountains above. The soils tend to be deep on the plain and thinner at the foot of the mountain and higher areas. The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are planted at the foot of the mountain on moderate slopes with shallow soils and highly variable textures. Carmenère vines are best suited to the flatter areas, where the soils are deeper. Marchigüe is flatter with low hills and moderate slopes. The soils are shallow—in some cases no more than 60 cm deep—with moderate clay content and a high capacity for water retention. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère vineyards are located in generally flat area
