Producer Information: Montes
Montes is a prominent Chilean wine producer based in the Colchagua Valley, one of the country’s most celebrated wine regions. Founded in 1987 by winemaker Aurelio Montes and his partners, the winery was established with a vision to elevate Chilean wines on the global stage. Montes employs sustainable viticulture practices and meticulous vineyard management, focusing on minimal intervention to allow each grape variety to express its unique terroir. Their production approach combines traditional techniques with modern technology, ensuring consistency and quality across all vintages.
Beyond their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah wines, Montes offers an extensive portfolio that includes varietals such as Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. The winery also produces limited-edition blends like Purple Angel and Outer Limits series that showcase innovative winemaking from diverse microclimates within Chile. In addition to still wines, Montes has expanded into sparkling wine production using classic methods.

This broad range allows Montes to cater to both casual drinkers and collectors seeking premium expressions of Chilean terroir.
