MontGras Intriga Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine Dry Chile (6 x 0.75l)

• STORY: Intrigue. A masterpiece of historical dimensions. The Maipo Valley is the cradle of Chilean quality viticulture. It's a day's journey southwest of Santiago - if you take the horse-drawn carriage, as Alejandro Reyes did when he came to this valley in 1865. It didn't take long for the passionate wine grower to realize that this patch of land is the purest winegrower's paradise.

• AGEING: Barrique (French) - about 20 months

• AROMA: Ripe plum and blackcurrant with enticing notes of fresh mint, spicy mocha and sweet chocolate

• RATING: The nuanced play of aromas determines the palate.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: with meat dishes, especially steak, with spicy cheese

When it comes to top wines from South America, wine connoisseurs always mention Chile first. The country has received special attention for the cultivation of the Carmenère grape, originally from France, which was thought to be almost extinct when it was rediscovered in an old Chilean vineyard in the 1990s. Since then, this grape has been pressed like no other region in the world with such passion to produce exceptionally unique top wines that some wines can easily compete with great Bordeaux growths. Above all, the wines from Chile's top producer MontGras, whose highly acclaimed wines have already won numerous international awards. Shortly after its founding in 1993, the winery was able to collect two of the most coveted awards in the wine world: at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) in London, the winery was named "Best Chilean Wine Producer" and at Germany's leading premium wine competition MundusVini, MontGras was even voted "Best Overseas Producer of the Year". The dream team around the brothers Hernán and Eduardo Gras has everything you need to produce world-class wines: plenty of experience, the unique terroir on Monte Ninquén and a state-of-the-art winery with a barrique barrel storage facility that is unparalleled in all of South America. And on top of that: tons of passion, pioneering spirit and optimism. The sensational price/pleasure ratio of the wines has led to MontGras being one of the top producers from Chile in Germany today. The wine world had not seen a faster rise up to that point, but the wines of the Gras brothers kept what the early success promised.
