AWARDS
James Suckling 90/100
Montes Classic wines are true ambassadors, representing the outstanding value Chile can offer for everyday drinking. Grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery with the utmost care, to keep bunch damage to an absolute minimum
Ageing: 45% of the wine was aged for 8 months in contact with 2nd- and 3rd-use French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes: Predominance of ripe red and black fruit aromas such as strawberries and plums on the nose. Notes of crème de cassis intermingle with sweet spices such as nutmeg and black pepper. On the palate, the wine stands out for its well-balanced acidity, medium body, and incredibly smooth tannins. The moderately persistent finish echoes the notes perceived on the nose.
Food Pairing: Highly recommended with braised beef with french fries, steak and eggs, paella, cannelloni and lasagna

Cab.Sauvignon
The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.
It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it performs particularly well on well-drained, low-fertile soils. It has small, dusty, black-blue berries with thick skins that produce deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with notable tannins. Its spiritual home is the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux where it thrives on the well-drained gravel-rich soils producing tannic wines with piercing blackcurrant fruits that develop complex cedarwood and cigar box nuances when fully mature.
The grape is widely planted in California where Cabernet Sauvignon based wines are distinguished by their rich mixture of cassis, mint, eucalyptus and vanilla oak. It is planted across Australia and with particular success in Coonawarra where it is suited to the famed Terra Rossa soil. In Italy barrique aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a key component in Super Tuscans such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, either on its own or as part of a blend with Sangiovese.
