More about the wine

This wine helped redefine Aconcagua’s potential for Sauvignon Blanc. Produced just a few kilometres from the coast on granite soil, this is a bright and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc filled with notes of snow peas, lime zest, passionfruit and white pepper. Deliciously easy to drink, with appealing texture and a fresh, salty finish. Top value and ideal for oysters.

 

More about the winery

A landmark winery for Chile, Montes started in 1987 as the vision of entrepreneurial winemaker Aurelio Montes and business partner Douglas Murray. The Colchagua-based winery has grown by leaps and bounds since then, now with three more Chilean families as business partners and vineyards extending from Zapallar on Aconcagua’s coast down to experimental plantings on the archipelago of Chiloé in Chile’s deep south.
