Product Notes

The Vina Montes Alpha Aconcagua Pinot Noir is an exquisite Chilean wine renowned for its complex fragrance and notable elegance. Hailing from the distinguished Aconcagua region, this Pinot Noir offers distinct, juicy hints of cherry, plum, and raspberry on the palate. Undertones of truffle and oak add further complexity. The wine's exquisite clarity creates a visually appealing experience, while its soft tannins create a well-rounded, medium-bodied profile. A lengthy finish imparts a pleasing, lingering aftertaste, making it an excellent accompaniment to robust meat dishes or a dignified standalone indulgence. Exceptionally crafted, this wine encapsulates the very essence of fine wine.

Tasting Notes

This wine is bright ruby red in colour. The nose presents aromas of ripe black cherries, blueberries and raspberries, sweet spices including nutmeg and cinnamon, and a touch of violet. Medium-bodied, the palate has silky, smooth tannins, fresh and vibrant acidity, and displays well-integrated flavours of toffee and vanilla from the French oak ageing. The long and perfumed finish is smooth and elegant.
