Montes Limited Selection Pinot Noir

The vineyards that produce the grapes for our Montes Limited Selection Pinot Noir are located in the Casablanca, Leyda and Zapallar Valleys, all of which can be found in the Aconcagua Wine Region. The grapes were handpicked into 22 – 26 lbs trays during the very early hours of the morning to keep the temperatures low and protect the aromas. Upon arriving at the winery, the bunches were carefully selected, destemmed, and submitted to a second selection of the berries. The grapes were gently dropped directly into open-top stainless steel tanks, where the whole berries underwent a 5-day pre-fermentation maceration at 45º F to very gently extract color and aromas. Tasting notes: Aromas of fresh cherry and raspberry with notes of sweet pastry, candied aromas, and a hint of toast. Pairs well with: Pairs well with fettucini Alfredo, soft and creamy soups, veal chops, camembert cheese and mushroom risotto.
