Intense ruby in colour with red fruits, evocations of blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box, in balance with well-integrated oak . Of great complexity in the mouth, in mid-palate is full-bodied and balanced with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish.

Montes ALPHA 'M' Colchagua Valley Chile
Description: The slopes of Apalta in Colchagua enclose a half-moon shaped area with a unique micro-climate, defined by the mountains and one of Chile's widest rivers, the Tinguiririca. The best slopes in this valley, with a 15% average inclination, are found on our property where we grow the grapes for Montes Alpha "M". Having a west-south-west exposure allows for exactly the right number of hours of sunlight and provides us with an ocean breeze . The very warm days but cool winds at night, with their lowering temperatures, give a micro-climate particularly suited for growing red grape varieties. Add to this, the poor soils with little organic matter, drip irrigation, and the high density of vines make growing conditions just right. Montes Alpha "M" is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot and Cabernet Franc which enhances the elegance of the first variety, and is in total harmony with the softness of the second and austerity of the third. The wine is an intense multi-hued ruby red with an aroma redolent of berries. The red fruit with notes of black pepper and spices blends harmoniously when aged one year in French oak barriques that contribute subtle vanilla tones. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced, full-bodied and superbly voluptuous on the mid-palate with a rewarding, lingering aftertaste of mature grapes and acidity that reflects its superb structure. Although young, Montes Alpha "M" can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years . We recommend serving this wine with lamb chops, roast lamb, lamb casserole, steak and kidney in all its forms, roast goose or roast turkey, also beef Bourguignonne, roast venison, rabbit, boar. If you are a vegetarian, it will go extremely well with vegetable lasagne. (6 x 75 cl)
