Montes Folly
Montes Folly is grown on the very highest slopes of our "la Finca de Apalta" vineyard, in Apalta Valley, with an inclination exceeding 45º degrees. Denomination of Origin is Santa Cruz, within Colchagua. These high reaches are home to the superb grapes that become Montes Folly, Chile’s first ultra-premium Syrah. Yields are extremely low at 4 tons per hectare (1.6 tons per acre), with grapes and clusters that are much smaller and even more concentrated than in the vineyard’s lower slopes. As a result, they deliver more color and tannins, making Montes Folly richly colored, complex and powerful, with over 15% alcohol. Montes Folly’s blockbuster style and lingering finish attest to its pedigree.

Tasting notes
Montes Folly has a generous, deep intense ruby red color. On the nose the wine is very elegant with lively black ripe fruit, hints of dark chocolate and a subtle toastiness. On the mouth, the wine is robust, concentrated, velvety and dense. Tobacco and vanilla notes arrive on the finish. In all ways, a unique wine that has become a cult wine.
