Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenère 2020 - Montes

The Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon  Carmenère from Montes is a wonderful red wine cuvée from the Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Carmenère (30%) grape varieties. 

In the glass, this wine appears in a bright ruby red and purple reflections. The bouquet of this Chilean top red wine convinces with a lot of ripe blackberry, cherry and elderberry fruit, complemented by notes of tobacco, coffee, vanilla, spices and butter caramel. On the palate, this wonderful red wine cuvée from Chile presents itself gently with soft, subtly extract-sweet fullness and a full yet elegant body. The harmoniously round finale convinces with a lot of length.

Vinification of the Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenère

The Cabernet and Carmenère grapes for this red wine from Chile are grown under perfect conditions in the Vale Apalta, a sub-region of the Colchagua Valley. These are read at the time of perfect maturity. After assembling the final Cabernet Sauvignon - Carménère Cuvée, about 47% of the wine matures for 10 months in American oak barriques. The remaining 53% remains in the stainless steel tank. 

After ripening, this wine is filtered and poured into the bottle. After a short rest on the bottle, this wine leaves the cellar of Montes.
