Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon

The winemaking process for Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon begins with hand-harvested grapes, meticulously selected for quality. A cold soak at 10°C for five days precedes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where the wine stays on its skins for 7-10 days to enhance structure and color. Malolactic fermentation follows in steel or concrete vats. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 50% new oak, contributing to its complexity. Throughout the process, gravity is used to move wine, minimizing mechanical stress. Sustainable practices are integral, including a 'Sustainable Dry Farmed' system that significantly reduces water consumption.
