The wines of Montgras

Vina Montgras was founded some thirty years ago. From the very beginning, they had a clear preference. Only the finest grapes, the finest vineyards, and the most talented winemakers were used. This has taken them far, making them one of the most impressive wineries in Chile. With their new anniversary just around the corner, they wanted to create a unique series of wines, a series that surpasses all others. Montgras Handcrafted was born: the most respected winemakers are challenged to create a truly special glass of wine. For the fourth wine, the all-rounder Cristian Correa, a name no stranger to true wine lovers, decided to work in the vineyards in Buin, located in the Maipo Valley. The limestone-rich soil proved to be ideal for Cabernet Franc. Thanks to the necessary attention, the harvest could begin, rather late in mid-March. It was precisely at this time that the grapes were at their peak, and the Cabernet Franc bunches were full and full of promise.
