Can a wine align with the universe’s energy?
In the Colchagua Valley (Chile), amidst vineyards that embrace the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range, emerges an exceptional wine where the ancient wisdom of feng-shui, Gregorian chants, and gravity converge in a ritual of harmony and excellence. Montes Alpha M, aside from being a superb red, is a statement of principles: absolute respect for energy, nature, and quality.
Bodega Montes not only marked a turning point in Chilean viticulture but also elevated the crafting of wines to an experience that transcends vinification. Since its inauguration in 2004, this winery has been a pioneer in integrating the oriental philosophy of feng-shui into every corner of its architecture, ensuring the flow of positive energy that connects those who work there, the wines, and the universe. Water, wood, sun, moon, and metal are not merely symbols; they are living principles that govern the soul of the project. In its barrel room, Gregorian chants resonate daily to accompany the aging of its wines in an atmosphere of complete serenity.
Montes Alpha M is the most cherished jewel of this philosophy. A blend of cabernet sauvignon with precise contributions from cabernet franc, merlot, and petit verdot, born in granite-origin soils, on slopes with inclinations of up to 30 degrees. Hand-harvested and vinified with the utmost respect for the fruit, this wine is guided by the force of gravity, the freshness of dawn, and the almost surgical precision of a team that listens to the vineyard before intervening. After 18 months of aging in French barrels, each bottle embodies power, elegance, and extraordinary aging potential.
Tasting Montes Alpha M is to surrender to a sensory experience of high emotional voltage. Its enveloping structure, silky tannins, and complex expression of black fruit, spices, damp earth, and tobacco invite pairing with red meats, lamb, or game dishes in memorable celebrations. It is a wine that demands time, attention, and the desire to connect with something greater. Because in every sip, there beats the perfect balance between the earth, man… and the energy that unites them.
