Description
In a nutshell:
A concentrated and tropically flavoured Chilean Sauvignon Blanc from the highly regarded Viña Montes.
The lowdown:
This is a bottle that shows 'entry level' doesnt mean cutting corners. Modestly priced, yes, but the quality makes it well worth its spot on our list. The fruit comes from Casablanca Valley, where cool coastal breezes and morning fogs do wonders for producing aromatic whites. It's got all the hallmarks of a cool-climate Sauvignon: bright citrus like pink grapefruit, a burst of passion fruit and white peach, plus a floral lift and a whisper of green pepper. Fresh, zesty, and with a lively finish - it's everything you want, without the price tag you might expect.
The Producer:
Viña Montes began in 1987 as a partnership between Aurelio Montes and Douglas Murray, two pillars of the Chilean wine industry. They were convinced that Chile has the capability to produce wine of a quality to match anywhere else in the world and they set out to put this into practice. Douglas Murray died in 2010 but Aurelio has continued to develop and grow the business. Through the 1990's they focussed on the Apalta region of the Colchagua valley, where their winery is to be found near the town of Santa Cruz about 2 hours south of Chile's capital Santiago. And while much of their fame can be ascribed to their iconic wines, among them Montes Alpha 'M', Montes Folly and Purple Angel, they also produce many more wines ranging from excellent and good value entry level varietals right up to some of the most expensive and highly regarded wines Chile has to offer.
When to drink:
Great with tangy goat's cheese salad or grilled seabass - its zippy freshness cuts through richness a treat. Or simply sip it on its own - it's enjoyably bright and lively.
Suitable for Vegans
