Wings is a new wine from Aurelio Montes, featuring a blend of Carmenère and 15% Cabernet
Franc from higher altitude vineyards on granite soils in the Apalta Valley. Richly oaked in
70% new wood, it has good underlying freshness and zip, plum, black cherry and wet stone
flavours and a herbal twist
Spicy and almost a little oily with olives, white pepper, fennel and plenty of roasted red chili pepper. Hints of cigar box and cocoa powder. A more linear expression if you compare this with Purple Angel, showing impressive precision and restraint. Long, juicy and precise.
