Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2020

RM101.00

Size: 750ml
Alcohol: 14%

Grape Varieties:

Chardonnay 100%

Tasting Notes:

Brilliant, pale golden-yellow in colour, with an elegant nose full of ripe tropical fruit notes, such as pineapple, cherimoya, and mango, complemented by a touch of pear and apricot. Floral notes mingle very well with light, toasty, hazelnut-like aromas. Hints of asparagus and artichoke heart, show its cool-coastal character. Refreshing, natural acidity pairs with generous body to provide a well-rounded palate, and a lovely finish.

Critics Reviews:

James Suckling (2020): 92 Points

Focused and ripe nose full of lemon curd, jack fruit, fine lees and hints of cream and stones. A full-bodied chardonnay with a round, creamy palate, showing lots of flavors in a transparent and elegant mode. Drink now.

Food Pairing:

This is a very versatile wine. It is highly recommended with salmon tartare, lobster, fresh shellfish, ripe cheeses, and with hot dishes such as crab gratin and mildly sauced white meats and pastas.

Description

VINEYARDS

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.
All the vineyards are vertical shoot position trellised and drip irrigated. Yields are usually less than 9,000 kg/hectare, with bunches very well distributed among the vines, aiding very good ventilation and overall excellent health from the cool temperatures of the entire ripening period.
