The production of Montes Alpha M is extremely limited and vintages are only released if our head winemaker, Aurelio Montes considers the quality of the wine to be of a good enough standard. Production starts by selecting individual grapes at harvest time. This wine, from Colchagua Valley, is one of the best and most awarded Chilean wines.
~Tasting Notes~
With a terrific colour of red dried sour cherries, the wine readily unfolds its elegance on the nose, releasing ripe, red-berry aromas of raspberry and strawberry, in addition to plum and ripe grapes. The notes derived from ageing in barrels, such as nutmeg, toasted nuts, tobacco, and a subtle tone of liqueur wine, are well integrated with the fruitiness.
On the palate, the flavours gain in intensity. It reveals superb balance, with tannins of outstanding smoothness, ample body, and magnificent length.
~Food Pairing~
Highly recommended with red meat, duck breast, lamb or pork chops, pasta with pesto, lamb masala, and chicken with mushroom sauce.
