Viña Montes Alpha on Postcard

"Sophisticated Sipping at Montes Winery Widely regarded as Chile 's pioneer premium winery, the first to export higher quality wines from Chile nearly two decades ago, Montes is synonymous with the Colchagua Valley. Located in the heart of the micro appellation Apata where its finest vineyards are planted, the modern winery sits at the feet of the steep hillsides where the vines climb at gravity-defying angles (brave grape pickers every harvest). Many loyal Montes' lovers make the pilgrimage to visit the winery and particularly love the impressive, semi-circular underground cellar lying in the heart of the building. Built with concentric half-rings of 800 new French oak barrels, the cellar truly appears to be a "stage." Here, the Montes "icon" wines like Purple Angel, Folly (Syrah) and Montes M quietly age while listening to the soothing sounds of Gregorian chants. Guests can visit the winery and then choose from a variety of tastings. Or they can stop in for a quick lunch at Cafe Alfredo and sip their earthy Carmenere on the terrace with stunning views of the vine-covered hillsides. Photo: Montes Wines"

A fabulous vineyard ! The vineyard tour & wine tasting was absolutely great. Following the touring of the vineyard with a detailed history of the estate the tour then went into the details of wine making. The tour was very informative & interesting. The subsequent visit to the store room where the wine ages in the oak barrels was surreal. Gregorian chants help the wine to age. - What an experience ! The wine tasting consisted of 2 icon wines 🍷 which were absolutely delicious to try - Purple Angel & 'M' . A great experience which can only be highly recommended.

What a fabulous tour we had with Nicole at the Montes Vineyard! Unique experience highly worth the detour! Surprising approach I'll leave you to discover (although some might have given it away). Worth eating at the restaurant too, in the middle of the vines 😍🍷

They deserve to be called the third best winery in the world. From top to bottom everything is first class. The wines are all delicious and the tour is very very informative. We got to visit during the Cabernet Sauvignon crush and see the equipment in action. Love the glasses in the tasting room.

Excellent tour thanks to Nas the guía, a beautiful place with a very interesting history, at harvest time but there were a lot of grapes still on the vines🍇

We took a tour of the winery which gave a good overview of the grounds and their wine making process, and included a nice tasting. Beautiful winery and the best part had to be having lunch at the restaurant sitting right in among the vines.

Nice winery with English tours. Our tour included a horse-drawn carriage tour through the beautiful vineyards. Nice views of the surrounding hills. Other tours went in an motorized open van farther up the hill. We also saw the barrel room where wine is ripening in oak barrels while listening to Gregorian chant music to create vibrations, which are supposed to make the wine even better! Great tasting of 5 wines is also included in the tour. Wines were very expensive, though, so we did not buy one.

Viña Montes I understand that is one of the first vineyards to produce to of the line wines for export. Although it has various places where they have vineyard, including Mendoza Argentina, the base is at the Apalta region, where the best wines are produced. They have a modern building overviewing the vineyard and has an excellent restaurant “Fuegos de Apalta”, where you can taste Montes wines.
