One of South America’s most highly-regarded producers. Wine Spectator refers to Montes as ‘the best all-round winery in South America’ while The Guardian’s Tim Atkin declared them Winemaker of the Year in 2006, and the lofty Decanter described their Alpha Cabernet as '‘one of the best for its price anywhere in the world'.
Chairman and Head Winemaker Aurelio Montes takes all this in his globe-straddling stride. Together with the late Douglas Murray, Aurelio started the ball rolling in 1987 to showcase to the world Chile’s hitherto untapped potential for premium winemaking, and Montes continues to set the benchmark.

Aurelio Montes
Considered one of the most able practitioners in the cellar, winemaker Aurelio Montes has always maintained that '80% of good wine comes from the vineyards and only 20% from the cellar'. So vineyard care is paramount, enabling us to produce world-class wines. From the vineyard rows to the cellar, we meticulously study every variable in the winemaking process. Our commitment to method and process is almost obsessive; nothing is left to chance.
