Wine Reviews

This fresh, pure red’s aromas of freesia and thyme lead to a polished core of cherry and strawberry that gains in richness and intensity as it lingers onto the finish, picking up stony hints around fine tannins, with a late echo of coffee bean.

The nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an attractive mix of cranberry and bell pepper aromas. The palate is juicy, featuring ripe berries, baking spices and hints of bell pepper, with a medium finish.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Montes Alpha was aged 12 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The nose offers a classic Cabernet Sauvignon profile of plum and blackberry alongside subtle oak and spice. The palate shows fine tannins, while the vintage lends a slight reactivity that adds juiciness. It finishes with black fruit, medium concentration and a slightly sharper edge than in previous years.

Sourced from Apalta and Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Montes Alpha also includes 10% Merlot. Aged for up to 12 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new, this garnet wine reveals dark fruit aromas of blackberry and plum alongside notes of tomato leaf and oak. Indulgent and rich, with a subtly concentrated mouthfeel, it lingers with fine, reactive tannins. This is the ABC of Montes Alpha, crafted in a pristine year.

Sweet cassis with tomato leaves, quince and a touch of laurel and chocolate. Tight-grained on the palate, with a medium-bodied and nicely chewy texture. Solid finish with generous fruit and tannins. Drink or hold.
