Valle de Colchagua, Chile Colour: red wine, dry Bottle cap: cork Suckling Points: 91 SP (born 2016, March 2018) Bottle size: 0.75 liters Alcohol content: 14.5% vol (heavy wine) Aging in barriques: 6 months in American barriques (70%) Total acid: 3.22 g/l Residual sugar: 2.66 g/l Recommended drinking temperature: approx. 17 – 19 °C wine processing: The Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère grapes for Monte’s eponymous wine grow under optimal conditions on their own vineyard in Apalta Valley, D.O. Santa Cruz (a sub-appellation of the Colchagua Valley). All grapes are harvested when fully ripe and fermented in the traditional way. After the composition of the final blend, around 70% of the cuvée is aged in American oak barrels for six months. Color: beautiful, intensely bright ruby red scent: in the bouquet seductive notes of fine butter caramel, chocolate, spices, tobacco and coffee merge with elegant vanilla aromas (due to the barrel maturity) Taste: Gentle on the palate with a soft, almost sweet fullness, a medium to full body and the characteristic yet firm and velvety matured tannins of the Carménère, harmoniously round and balanced in the finish with a wonderful length Serving suggestion: with many meat dishes, also with oriental spices, with Chilean chicken stew or spicy rice stews
