About Montes

A statue of a guardian angel stands in every Montes wine cellar as a good luck charm. It has accompanied top winemaker Aurelio Montes, an outstanding personality, since the company's founding and keeps a protective hand over the wonderful wines. It is not only for this reason, but also thanks to his instinct for new terroirs and top-class wines, that Aurelio Montes has made it onto the international wine map. He discovered Chile's potential and produces wines of the highest quality. Today, the Montes estate includes vineyards in Apalta, Marchigüe, and the cooler Zapallar. It is family-owned; at the helm is, of course, Aurelio Montes, supported by his son, Aurelio Montes Jr.

The Region

100 kilometers north of Santiago de Chile, the Aconcagua Valley stretches between the slopes of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. The Aconcagua River is named after a nearly 7,000-meter-high mountain: the Andean giant Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas. The wine-growing region is located near the river, which brings fresh meltwater and mineral-rich silt from the Andean peaks. The climate here has a characteristic feature: during the day, the dry land heats up. The hot air in the east rises quickly and draws in cooler air from the Pacific. The process reverses as the land cools in the evening. These daily breezes temper the high temperatures and reduce the risk of vine diseases.
