The Story
The Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a vibrant, beautifully balanced, and fruit-forward New World red wine that represents an outstanding testament to the premium value of Chile's everyday drinking profile. It pours a brilliant ruby-red colour with elegant violet tints at the rim, lifting with an immediate, refreshing bouquet of ripe strawberries, black cherries, and sweet figs, seamlessly layered with complex undertones of crème de cassis, fresh mint, tobacco leaf, and warm baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine is remarkably smooth, juicy, and round, coating the mouth with pure, velvety intensities of dark stone fruits, subtle mocha, and a soft vanilla sweetness. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on estate vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe, with 40% of the blend aged for eight months in fine French oak barrels to maximize its structural depth, it is driven by a rich, fresh acidity and silky, perfectly rounded tannins that carry into a moderately persistent, clean finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with casual or hearty fare, including braised beef with French fries, traditional lasagna, cannelloni, steak and eggs, wood-fired mushroom pizzas, gourmet beef burgers, and savory paella.
