Brand Story:

Montes wines boast high-ratings across its portfolio, from value to premium labels.

Tasting Notes:
Deep brick-red in colour, typical of the Carmenère variety, the aromas are intense, with ripe blackberry, plum, and blueberry. On the palate, black and blue fruit is completmented by sweet spice, pink pepper, coffee, and tobacco. The palate is balanced and silky, with a caramel-like body and very long finish.

Grape Varietal(s):
Carmenere, Petit Verdot

Awards & Accolades 
“Terrific aromas of black fruit and blackcurrants with dried spices such as thyme, rosemary and oregano. Notes of dried figs, tomato leaves and blackberry leaves. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are polished and so attractive. Refined and caressing in the finish. Structured tannins at the end. Very drinkable and enjoyable now. Slightly low alcohol this year. Why wait?” – James Suckling, 97 points

“This rather muscular red opens with elegance and grace, offering peppery floral details that meld with baking spice, sage and vanilla bean aromas before giving way to a concentrated core of mineral-accented berry and damson plum flavors that build richness as they make their way to the finish line, stretching out around firming tannins and a late echo of coffee bean. Carmenère and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2034. 160,000 cases made, 2,300 cases imported.” – Wine Spectator, 94 points

“The 2021 Carmenere Purple Angel also includes 8% Petit Verdot, sourced from a small plot called Block 1 in the winery's Apalta vineyard. Aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which are new, this dark purple wine reveals hints of ash, red bell pepper and violets against a backdrop of cedar. Indulgent, rich and overwhelming on the palate, the fine, reactive tannins and velvety texture linger with a slightly juicy mouthfeel. The cold 2021 year resulted in a palate that is slightly lighter compared to other years.” – Antonio Galloni, 94 points
