Tasting Note

This wine is deep ruby red in colour. On the nose, there are pronounced aromas of fresh red berries and plums, with subtle layers of vanilla, toffee and nut from oak ageing. This is a wonderfully structured Merlot with smooth, round tannins and balanced freshness.

Product Notes

Vina Montes Alpha Colchagua Merlot is a ruby-red wine with an intense and complex aroma of red fruits, such as cherries, plums, and raspberries, with notes of chocolate and tobacco. This wine is made using the Merlot grape variety, which is grown in the Colchagua Valley, a region known for producing some of the best red wines in Chile. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels to add a touch of elegance. This wine has a smooth and velvety texture, with a well-balanced acidity that makes it easy to pair with a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats and pasta dishes.
