Deep red in colour with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, chocolate, and spice. The palate has good concentration and silky tannins. Grown in Apalta, the best-known region for producing Carmenere. Really hot in summer that helps the grapes ripen in a very good way for this variety. Steep slopes with deep soils with decomposed rocks that help roots break through easily.

Montes Alpha sits nicely above the Classic range and offers superb value. This ruby red Pinot Noir boasts light cherry/strawberry fruit with a light dusting of ripe tannins. Very easy on the palate.
