Montes Twins Red Blend

This Montes Twins Red Blend is undoubtedly one of Montes' most successful wines. It's a wine that's born anew every year and is crafted from the finest local grape varieties. The Montes winery has a long history, having been founded in 1987. It was founded by Aurelio Montes and three partners with a single goal: to create the finest Chilean wines made from local grape varieties. Starting out small with a few vineyards, it later expanded into a global player with 600 hectares of vineyards. Despite its growth, they remained true to Aurelio's quality and philosophy. This Twins Red Blend wine, too, is a blend of the finest vineyards and grape varieties.

The old vineyard in Colchagua

The composition and proportions vary each vintage but always include Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carmenère, and Tempranillo grape varieties from the Colchagua region. The region has two cluster-growing locations: Apalta and Marchigüe. The perfect climate, with its strong sunshine and refreshing breeze, produces robust clusters. These are harvested entirely by hand and rigorously selected. Only the finest clusters are transported in small crates to Montes, where they undergo oak aging. Montes chooses to age this Twins Red Blend in oak barrels for at least twelve months. This red wine fully develops and acquires all the beautiful characteristics of the oak barrel.

Full and intense wine this Montes Twins Red Blend

In the glass, this red wine is a light purple with a deep red sheen. The most beautiful aromas emerge from the glass, and we noted hints of blackberry, plum, and fig, along with chocolate and light spices. On the palate, it welcomes our taste buds with a toasted character and abundant black fruit. It demands our full attention and also offers hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and oak. The finish of this Montes Twins Red Blend is very soft and richly spiced. What a delightful glass, and perfect with red meat.
