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.

D.O. Colchagua

Colchagua is one of Chile`s most prestigious wine valleys, where Viña Montes was a pioneer in establishing its production. Located in the central part of the country, it houses vineyards in Apalta and Marchigüe, two exceptional terroirs. Apalta, with its gentle sun exposure, allows for a slow and complete maturation of the grapes, while in Marchigüe, close to the Pacific Ocean, the red grapes mature under the influence of cooler temperatures.
