Reserva

2009 Colchagua Valley Cabernet Franc

The Montgras Reserva Cabernet Franc from the stunning Colchagua Valley in 2009 is a remarkable red wine that showcases the expressive character of this varietal. With a medium body, it offers a delightful structure that balances beautifully with its refreshing acidity, creating a bright and lively mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring elegant notes of dark fruits, black currant, and hints of plum, all enriched by subtle undertones of spice and herbaceousness. This wine reveals a notable firm tannin structure, contributing depth and complexity to the overall experience. As a dry wine, it finishes with a well-rounded, smooth profile that invites another sip, making it a perfect choice for an array of food pairings or to enjoy on its own. Montgras Reserva is a true testament to the potential of Cabernet Franc in this renowned Chilean wine region.

Chile

In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.
