Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2022

Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2022 is a pure Chardonnay, where the grapes are gently hand-picked in the early morning hours to ensure their freshness. This versatile wine is an excellent choice for dishes such as salmon tartare, lobster, shellfish, mature cheeses, as well as white meats such as chicken or pork with mild sauces.

Founded in 1987 by Aurelio Montes and Douglas Murray, Montes has since transformed the Chilean wine scene with their dedication to quality. Their debut wine, Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon, quickly became a symbol of their commitment. Montes was among the first in the Apalta region to introduce "ultra-premium" wines such as Montes Alpha M, Montes Folly and Purple Angel.

Alpha Chardonnay comes from Aconcagua Costa. The grapes are carefully sorted and pressed in three stages, after which fermentation takes place in steel tanks, where 25% undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine matures for 10-12 months, of which 65% is in steel tanks and the rest in French oak barrels. The result is a golden wine with an intense aroma of tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango and passion fruit, complemented by notes of white peaches, green pears and citrus. It is harmonious, crisp and charming. Best served at 8-10 degrees.
