Montes Taita

Montes Taita is zeer geurig. Van rijpe rode en zwarte bessen en jam tot zoete specerijen. Het eikenhout is mooi geïntegreerd en geeft smaken van toffee, nootmuskaat en toast. Deze wijn zit als een huis in elkaar, heeft stevige tannines en een eindeloze lengte.

Serveer deze wijn bij lamsvlees, gegrild rundvlees, wild of bij kaas.

In Chileense families 'heeft het woord "Taita" de betekenis van een liefdevolle vader, die aardig, wijs en een voorbeeld voor volgende generaties is. Aurelio Montes heeft op een van de wijngoederen van het huis Montes, Marchigüe, een stuk land gevonden met een zeer waardevolle bodem. Hier komen de Cabernet Sauvignon druiven en nog enkele andere soorten vanaf waar deze wijn van is gemaakt. Een monumentale wijn.

Montes Taita 

It is an intense ruby red in color, and the nose presents intense aromas of red fruits, black cherries, dried fruits, blackberries, dark chocolate, thyme, and cassis in perfect harmony with its very well integrated French oak thanks to its 24 months in the best fine-grained barrels that were especially designed for long aging and slow contribution. The elegant, medium-bodied palate features soft, silky tannins with excellent structure and balanced acidity that will ensure a long life in the bottle. Black fruits and cedar reappear on the creamy palate with a sense of terroir that recalls Marchigüe’s glacial-alluvial soils. The finish is long, smooth, sophisticated, and tremendously persistent.

Taita is a grand wine created with passion, enological rigor, and most especially, with wisdom. It represents the sum of all of the knowledge we have acquired over the 27 years that we have been making fine wines. Taita is made with grapes from our vineyards in Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley. Rigorous geological studies indicate that a glacier was detained in a sector of the vineyard for many years and left behind a tremendous amount of alluvial materials. Its unique soil components feature a large amount of rounded stones that form a veritable underground labyrinth, a special habitat in which the roots of our dry-farmed (non-irrigated) Cabernet Sauvignon vines have adapted extraordinarily. The result is extreme stress, which results in a very limited production of very small, very concentrated grapes.
