    Purple Angel Wine 2020, crafted by Montes Wines with the expertise of winemaker Aurelio Montes, stands as a beacon of quality and craftsmanship in the wine world. This exquisite wine showcases the best of Chile’s Colchagua Valley, offering a mesmerizing experience for both novice and seasoned wine enthusiasts alike. Its composition of 92% Carmenère and 8% Petit Verdot is a testament to Montes Wines’ dedication to producing wines of exceptional quality and character.

    The Purple Angel Carmenere Wine is a stunning embodiment of elegance and complexity. As you pour this wine, its deep, vibrant purple color captivates the eye, promising an unforgettable sensory journey. The aroma is equally compelling, with elegant notes of ripe red and black berries that gracefully mingle with sweet undertones. The influence of 18 months aging in first-use French oak barrels is unmistakably present, enriching the bouquet with sophisticated layers of dark chocolate and coffee, complementing the wine’s fruity essence.

    On the palate, Purple Angel Wine 2020 reveals its true depth and structure. It’s well-structured, with smooth and full tannins that provide a robust foundation for the wine’s rich flavors. The taste profile is a harmonious blend of the dark olives, blackberries, and a distinctive red chili chocolate noted by critics, with a hint of spice and a subtle whisper of cigar box, creating a complex yet accessible taste experience. The wine’s plushness, a hallmark of well-ripened Carmenère, is evident in every sip, culminating in a creamy finish that leaves you longing for more.

    Critically acclaimed and awarded 98 points by James Suckling, Purple Angel Wine is recognized for its consistent delivery of Carmenère’s plushness when perfectly ripened. Its unique blend, comprising mainly Carmenère from Marchigue and Apalta, along with a touch of Petit Verdot, is praised for its fleshy and concentrated character. Fine-grained tannins extend to a very creamy finish, making this wine an exceptional choice that promises to evolve beautifully, reaching its peak around 2025.

    Montes Purple Angel is more than just a wine; it’s a masterpiece that captures the essence of its origins. Recommended to be stored in a cool and dry place, away from light, and ideally served at 17-19ºC (63-66°F), this wine pairs splendidly with red meats and cheeses, making it a versatile companion for a variety of culinary delights.

    In summary, Purple Angel Wine 2020 is a testament to the art of winemaking. With its elegant nose, well-structured palate, and critically acclaimed taste profile, it is a wine that transcends the ordinary. Whether you’re drawn to the wine with the angel on it for its visual appeal or the enchanting experience it offers, Purple Angel by Montes is a choice that signifies appreciation for the finer things in life. This Purple Angel Carmenère embodies the spirit and expertise of Montes Wines, offering a sip of heaven with every glass.

    A consistent Purple Angel that really delivers the carmenere’s plushness when ripened well. Dark olives, blackberries and red chili chocolate with a splash of spice and cigar box. Fleshy and concentrated with plenty of fine-grained tannins that extend to a very creamy finish. 92% carmenere, around half from Marchigue and half from Apalta, with 8% petit verdot. Better from 2025.

    Carmenere

    The Carmenere grape varietal, often dubbed the "lost grape of Bordeaux," has embarked on a fascinating journey of rediscovery, finding its truest expression in the vineyards of South America, particularly Chile. Originally one of the six red grapes of Bordeaux, Carmenere's unique qualities have found a home where it thrives and flourishes like never before. This grape, with its deep dark skin, originated in Bordeaux but has discovered its ideal habitat in Chile. The country's climate and soil conditions provide the nurturing environment necessary for Carmenere's success. This late-ripening grape requires abundant sunshine and a warm summer to reach its fullest potential. It's no wonder that Chile's climate, with its sunny days and moderate rainfall, has proven to be the ideal match for...Please check Carmenere for more information
