Product information "Montes Taita Cabernet Sauvignon 2015"
In the same Colchagua valley, between the coastal mountain range and the sea, lie our Marchigüe vineyards, nestled in a hilly landscape that ends at the Pacific Ocean (25 kilometres away), where our red grapes ripen slowly under the influence of cooler temperatures. The topography here is much flatter than in Apalta, with hills that have lower slopes. The soils are shallow, in some cases now more than 60 cm, with a medium degree of clay and capable of retaining a high level of water.
Tasting notes:
At first sight, when served, the Taita immediately confirms that tasting it will be a challenge.
Visually, the wine is crimson in colour, deep and dense, with long, slow tears. On the nose, the effects of the two years in cask and the time the wine has spent in bottle are initially apparent. A diverse pool of aromas includes ripe red and black fruits such as plum, strawberry, cherry and raspberry, as well as flavours derived from the toasted French oak such as tobacco, nutmeg, hints of vanilla and an interesting candied note from the combination with the original fruit. On the palate, the Taita repeats all of the aforementioned sensations, with incredible balance and body, along with soft tannins and lively acidity, with favours that enhance the aromatic sensations and are long-lasting on the palate.
Montes Taita Cabernet Sauvignon is An ultra-premium wine with unique provenance and extreme ageing potential.
Grape variety:
Cabernet Sauvignon 85%; 15% at the winemaker's discretion.

What is so special about South American wine?
Wines from South America have been arousing enormous interest among wine consumers and connoisseurs around the world for decades. This is mainly due to the typicality of the soils and the production techniques, which allow the different varieties of white and red wine to be produced in a special and unique way. We can appreciate this in wines from Argentina, wines from Chile and wines from Uruguay.
The geography of these countries is very diverse, and is influenced not only by the spectacular Andes mountain range, at whose foot the largest number of vineyards in Argentina and Chile are located, but also by the sea breezes and the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, which characterizes Uruguayan vineyards so much.
Red wine from Argentina:
Among the varieties that stand out most among the wines made in Argentina, we can find, without a doubt, Malbec at the top of the podium, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda, Tannat, Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir.
Red wine from Uruguay:
As regards Uruguayan wines, the Tannat grape stands out mainly, since this country is the main producer of wines based on this grape. Also Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Marselán, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Pinot Noir.
Red wine from Chile:
Regarding Chilean wines, the Cabernet Sauvignon stands out, which in this trans-Andean country is given in a very special way, followed by Carmenere, Cinsault, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah.
Designation of origin and geographical indication:
In all these countries there are regulations that, particularly in each one, have allowed over the years the creation of geographical indications and denominations of origin. Always respecting local regulations regarding the combination of vines and terroirs, the inventiveness of winegrowers in the production of Blends and Cuvees, both red and white, and of sparkling and rosé wines, stands out.
In Andenweine you can also find internationally awarded wines from Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.
