Wine Description
The Story
The vineyards that produce the grapes for our Montes Alpha Pinot Noir are located in the Casablanca Valley and Zapallar; both are within the Aconcagua wine region.
All of the vineyards are trained to vertical shoot position and drip irrigated, yields range from 4,500 to 5,000 kg/hectare. Because vines have an excellent vegetative / productive balance, it is no necessary to adjust the load and canopy work is minimal. This also allows us to harvest healthy grapes with good balance.
Casablanca is 25 km (15.5 mi) from the Pacific coast, and Zapallar is just 7 km (4.3 mi) from the sea. This affords the grapes great freshness, minerality, and cold zone typicity. In both cases the soils are granitic with different percentages of clay, and there is a predominance of sandier zones.
