Vina Montes Alpha Colchagua Carmenère is a premium wine from the Colchagua Valley, one of Chile's most prestigious wine regions. This rich and complex wine is made from 90% Carmenère, a grape variety that is typically known for its spicy and earthy flavours. The remaining 10% of the blend is made up of other red grapes, adding depth and structure to the wine.

On the nose, Vina Montes Alpha Colchagua Carmenère reveals intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry, mixed with subtle notes of vanilla and toast. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, with a silky texture and a long finish. This well-balanced wine pairs perfectly with grilled meats, hearty stews, and other bold and flavourful dishes.
