MONTES PURPLE ANGEL

Closer to the divine

Purple Angel

Purple Angel has been rated by critics worldwide as a wine from another planet. It represents a new dimension of Carmenère, a grape variety rediscovered in Chile in 1994 after being considered extinct when phylloxera devastated Bordeaux two centuries ago. Today, Carmenère is synonymous with Chilean wine, and Purple Angel is synonymous with the best Carmenère.

Pairing

Dishes with exuberant flavors of spices, fresh herbs, and hints of heat. Grilled meat with spiced or sweet-and-sour marinades. Flavorful dishes made with grains, legumes, or dough that have body and texture, such as quiche, risottos, and cannelloni.

D.O. Colchagua

Colchagua is one of Chile’s most prestigious wine regions, where Montes Wines was a pioneer in establishing its vineyards. Situated in the country’s central region, it comprises vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe, two exceptional terroirs. Apalta’s gentle sun exposure allows for a slow, complete ripening of the grapes, while in Marchigüe, close to the Pacific Ocean, red grapes mature under the influence of cooler temperatures.
