Montes Alpha Chardonnay – 750ml

The vineyards that produce grapes for our Montes Alpha Chardonnay are located in the Aconcagua Costa region. The proximity of the vines to the Pacific Ocean and the pronounced influence of sea breezes provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay to ripen slowly and completely. The high variability in the soils, which range from sandy to clay-loam, lend this wine enormous complexity with tremendous cold-climate typicity, but with an impressive aromatic palate. The most important clones used are Dijon 76, which contributes tropical fruit and citrus notes, and clone 95, which lends great volume to the palate thanks to the highly concentrated grapes it produces.

Tasting Note

Brilliant, light golden-yellow color. The perfumed and elegant nose offers notes of tropical fruit, such as cherimoya and ripe pineapple, while a touch of pear and banana adds complexity to the fruit profile. Delicate notes of white flower petal intermingle very well with the light, nutty aromas of toast. A hint of white asparagus tells of its origins in a coastal climate. The palate starts gently, with refreshing crisp acidity, then opens up with rather voluptuous structure and volume. A certain mineral note, characteristic of the terroir, lingers on in the long and elegant finish.
