WINE DESCRIPTION
Montes Late Harvest Gewürztraminer is a premium dessert wine produced by Montes, a renowned Chilean winery. The grapes are sourced from the Curico Valley, a cool-climate region known for its ideal growing conditions for aromatic varieties like Gewürztraminer. The vineyard features well-draining soils and a unique microclimate that allows for extended hang time, resulting in concentrated flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a slow fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot, and exotic spices, balanced by a refreshing acidity. Perfect to pair with fruit-based desserts or blue cheese.
