Winemaker Notes
Montes Alpha Malbec is an intense red color with violet tones at the rim. It has tremendous aromatic potency with notes of red fruits and violets accompanied by spices such as black and red pepper. Its time in oak barrels lent it great complexity and the palate is well balanced, smooth, and elegant. Dairy notes are very evident and the finish is long and lingering.
This Malbec pairs very well with most red and white meats, although it has a special affinity with grilled pork and chicken, especially with barbecue sauce. It is also very good with beef stew, spicy beef, and Mexican mole dishes.
Blend: 90% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
