Montes Purple Angel 2017 - Montes
The Purple Angel from Montes is made from Carmenère (92%) and Petit Verdot (8%) grapes from a wide variety of vineyards and has a deep, glossy purple colour.
This Chilean red wine has a complex bouquet with the lively spiciness of Carmenère from Marchigüe, the wild blackberry aromas of Petit Verdot and the elegant dark fruit notes of plum and blueberry of Apalta-Carmenère. Full-bodied, very intense and full-bodied, the Montes Purple Angel is a wine for the palate. Richly ripe tannin gives this wine its structure and firmness. This red wine is sensual and powerful and is characterised by its excellent ageing potential.
Vinification of Purple Angel Montes
In the early hours of the morning, the grapes from the different plots are harvested by hand. After careful selection, the grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks and carefully fermented.
This red wine is aged 50% in American and 50% in French oak. In order to remove all lees and yeast particles from this wine, it is carefully tapped three times. In addition, minimal amounts of oxygen are added to this wine. This promotes the maturity of the wine. This technique makes this red wine clear and pure and therefore it does not have to be filtered or embellished during bottling.
So that this red wine can develop its full potential, it remains on the bottle for up to one year.
