Montes Malbec Alpha 2015

Intense and very lively ruby red in color with violet nuances. Aromas of fresh red fruits such as strawberries and tart cherries predominate on the nose with a light touch of red plums. Floral notes underscore its fresh character with fragrances of wildflowers and violets. Sweet spices such as anise appear over a backdrop of light aromas of vanilla and jam. The sweet sensation is echoed on the palate with surprisingly smooth, round tannins that lend structure and tremendous volume. Very nicely balanced natural acidity makes this a very juicy, elegant Malbec with a remarkable finish that lingers long on the palate.

The vineyards that produce the grapes for our Alpha Malbec come from our Apalta and Marchigüe estates in the Colchagua Valley. Both properties have soils of granitic origin with different degrees of decomposition and varying amounts of clay, depth, and organic matter.

Blend: 95% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
