Today, the vineyard is part of Montgras, which has invested heavily in the beautiful vineyard and in modern winemaking techniques. Naturally, while maintaining the traditions Don Alejandro envisioned. Today, some 150 years later, the vineyard remains in its original state, and the old vines produce some of the most beautiful bunches in the Maipo Valley.

This coolness comes from the wind that constantly blows through the vineyard. The falling nighttime temperatures, which are also extreme in the vineyard, provide the grapes with more than enough coolness. This results in a long and even ripening process, during which all the bunches are harvested by hand.

The velvety mouthfeel unfolds with flavors of blackberries and ripe cherries, a light hint of blackcurrant, and a subtle peppery note on the back of the tongue. The finish is intense and warm, perfectly rounding off this Chilean red wine. Prefer to pair this gem with food? Think of nice, soft cheeses or red meat that isn't overly seasoned.\n\n\n \nOwners Hernán and Eduardo Gras are also fans of this red wine. They founded Viña Montgras in 1993.

Fermentation at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius brings out the fruit in the wine even more. Thirty percent of the wine is aged for six months in French and American oak barrels.

This allows the grapes to be harvested two to three weeks later, resulting in even riper grapes. Every task in the vineyard, from pruning to harvesting, is carefully supervised by the viticulture and winemaking team to obtain the highest quality fruit. The grapes are harvested by hand in twenty-kilo bins to prevent damage to the fruit. Harvest begins in early March, during which the grapes are rigorously selected. Afterward, the whole grapes undergo a seven-day cold maceration. This is followed by a very traditional fermentation, initially at twenty degrees Celsius, with the temperature rising to 28 degrees Celsius towards the end. The caps of the skins are gently pressed down by hand daily to optimally extract the aromas and color. After fermentation, the young wine remains in contact with the skins for a short time, further enhancing the wine's full flavor. The young wine is then drained from the skins and immediately placed in French oak barrels sourced from the finest Burgundian coopers. Complete malolactic fermentation follows, after which the wine matures for another twelve months.\n\n\n \nA vibrant, bright red. The aroma is very complex and mineral, with abundant red fruit and a distinct earthy character. It's simultaneously rich and fresh, powerful and refined. On the palate, the Talinay Pinot Noir is creamy with a wonderful texture, thanks to its full, perfectly balanced aromas. The finish is long, delicate, and intriguing.","brand":"Vinites","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775760109647,"sku":"5376","price":21.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/talinay-pinot-noir_5376.webp?v=1770046405"},{"product_id":"las-condes-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Las Condes Sauvignon Blanc","description":"Our first thought was, how can a white wine be this expensive?
