Montes Alpha Chardonnay 2021

The vineyards for Montes Alpha Chardonnay are located in the Casablanca region of Chile, where cool breezes and proximity to the Pacific Ocean produce ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen slowly and fully. The sites are irrigated via a sustainable system, pioneered by Aurelio and his team, which allows for extremely precise and minimal irrigation. The varied sandy and loam soils lend this wine tremendous complexity. Upon arrival at the winery, the handpicked fruit underwent a combination of whole bunch pressing, pressing of destemmed grapes and cold maceration for several hours, allowing the winemaking team to play with the aromatic extraction from the skins and level of structure. Malolactic conversion was allowed to take place, to increase both softness and volume on the palate, and also giving the wine greater texture and complexity. Finally, the wine was filtered before being bottled. A bright golden-yellow in colour, this wine displays vibrant aromas of tropical fruit such as pink grapefruit, papaya and lychee, with subtle notes of smoke and vanilla from time spent in French oak. The palate is juicy and fresh, with a vibrant acidity that complements the wine’s medium body and lengthens the finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
