MONTGRAS Antu Grenache-Syrah-Carignan 2015
ANTU, means “Sun” in the Mapuche native language, and this is the new exploratory range of wines at MontGras, where the identity and characteristics of the terroir transfers to each bottle.
VINTAGE: 2015
VARIETALS: 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 25% Carignan
APPELLATION: Colchagua Valley
AGING: 100% of the wine was aged in French used barrels during 16 months.
ALCOHOL: 14.5%
TASTING NOTES:
Deep ruby red with purple notes; fruity aromas of blueberries, currants and plums combined with spices. A hint of ventilation due to the ageing in old barrels makes this wine charming, complex, and unique in the nose. Juicy and round, with ripe blackberry notes. This wine appears soft and velvety on the palate but an elegant acidity gives it structure, good texture, and a long, pleasant finish.
This wine pairs well with meats, pasta, and cheese.
