2022 Malbec, Montes Wine Republic - Enoteca and Wine Merchant

2022 Malbec, Montes

Colchagua Valley, Chile

Rich, smooth and immediately welcoming, this Malbec opens with ripe blackberry, black plum and blueberry, followed by notes of violet, cocoa and a gentle touch of sweet spice. The palate is generous and rounded, delivering juicy dark fruit wrapped in supple tannins, with just enough freshness to keep everything balanced and flowing. It is polished rather than punchy, finishing soft, warming and deeply satisfying.

For when: you want something comforting that still feels well-made.
Pairs with: grilled steak, beef burgers, spiced lamb, or roasted vegetables.
If this wine were… a deep leather sofa you sink straight into and never want to leave.

Montes was established in 1988 by Aurelio Montes, Douglas Murray, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, with the aim of producing the best wines in Chile from the best regions. Montes wines are consistently good because they are meticulous throughout the entire production process. Montes own 800 hectares of vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe located in Colchagua Valley as well a single vineyard Zapallar, in the coastal Aconcagua Valley. In this way, they are able to retain full control of everything that is planted, cultivated and picked. The 'Classic Series' wines are all sourced from different regions, chosen to produce the best examples of each variety.

Upon arrival to the winery, the grapes were hand selected prior to crushing. Following a 10 -15 day fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine remained in contact with the skins to add greater roundness and body. The wine then went through full malolactic fermentation before 40% was aged in French oak barrels for six months ahead of bottling.
