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.

Colchagua Valley

Dubbed "Chile's red wine paradise" by Vogue magazine, Colchagua Valley is undoubtedly one of South America's finest wine regions. Indeed, many of Chile's best reds come from this dry, ocean breeze-cooled section of the Central Valley. Expect inky-dark reds made from Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. These wines burst with flavors of ripe berries and earthy tobacco, with a nice acidic balance thanks to the valley's cool nights. Don't underestimate the white wines, either, as Colchuaga's breezy coast is home to some memorable Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
