The vineyards for Montes Alpha Chardonnay are located in the Aconcagua Costa region. The proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the pronounced influence of sea breezes provide ideal conditions for Chardonnay to ripen slowly and completely. The highly variable 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.
The iconic Montes winery's Alpha series Chardonnay comes from the Aconcagua Valley, from coastal plots, to maintain good acidity. The nose is pronounced, with tropical fruits, pineapple, banana and ripe mango. Broad on the palate, with peaches, grapefruit, subtle buttery notes and vanilla. A small portion of the wine spends a year in French barrels. Creamy, long and elegant.
