The Story

O Super Carmenère da Montes

Esse excelente vinho representa toda uma nova dimensão da casta Carmenère, a variedade de uva há muito perdida que recentemente ressurgiu no Chile após presumidamente extinta em Bordeaux, seu local de origem. No Chile, consideramos esse vinho nossa variedade ‘signature’ e o chamamos ‘Jurassic Park’ de nossas uvas, que retornou da extinção. A Montes foi pioneira no cenário de vinhos chilenos quando criou seu vinhos super-premium: a linha Montes Alpha e os ícones Montes Alpha M e Montes Folly. A Montes também liderou em termos de qualidade ao plantar vinhedos em encostas íngremes. Porém, também sabemos quando esperar.

Aurelio Montes aguardou para o lançamento de um Carmenère, preferindo levar o tempo que fosse necessário e trabalhar com a ‘nova’ variedade até ficar satisfeito de que seu vinho seria de alto padrão, a melhor produção da Montes. A espera valeu a pena: essa beleza (uma mistura de 92% Carmenère e 8% Petit Verdot, amadurecido por 18 meses em barricas novas de carvalho francês) é tocada pelas asas de um anjo... um Purple Angel!
