Introduction
Located in the heart of the Colchagua Valley, Montes Winery has established itself as one of Chile’s most innovative and renowned wineries. Its focus on sustainability, the harmonious energy of Feng Shui, and the production of iconic wines have revolutionized the country’s wine scene. Since its founding, Montes has positioned labels such as Purple Angel and Alpha M on the international scene, winning over the most discerning palates around the world.

Origins and Philosophy
Montes Winery was founded in 1988 by a group of visionaries led by Aurelio Montes, whose dream was to create superior quality wines that represented the grandeur of the Chilean terroir. From the beginning, the winery adopted a philosophy based on innovation, sustainability, and a strong connection with nature.

One of the aspects that distinguishes Montes Winery is its application of Feng Shui in the design of its facilities. This Chinese philosophy, which seeks energetic balance in spaces, is reflected in the layout of the winery, the direction of the water in its fountains, and the distribution of the aging barrels. The result is a harmonious environment where energy flows positively, creating an optimal environment for the aging of high-end wines.

Feng Shui in the Winery
The Montes winery was designed strictly following the principles of Feng Shui. From its entrance to the barrel room, everything is oriented to promote the flow of positive energy. Some of the most representative elements include:

The Water Fountain: Strategically located to attract positive energy and symbolize prosperity.

Classical Music in the Barrel Room: The vibrations of music are believed to improve the quality of the wine during its aging.

Natural Colors and Materials: The winery uses materials such as wood and stone, aligned with the principles of harmony and balance.

Iconic Wines: Purple Angel and Alpha M

If there’s one thing that has cemented Montes Winery’s position in the wine world, it’s its iconic labels.

Purple Angel: Considered by many to be Chile’s finest Carmenère, Purple Angel is an elegant and complex wine, with intense aromas of black fruits, chocolate, and spicy notes. Its aging in oak barrels gives it a silky structure and a lingering finish.
Alpha M: A Bordeaux blend with Cabernet Sauvignon as its protagonist, this wine represents excellence in Chilean winemaking. With great aging capacity, Alpha M is a favorite choice for collectors and lovers of high-end wines.
Montes Folly: A Syrah from high-altitude vineyards that has been acclaimed for its intensity and robust character.

Sustainability and Precision Winemaking
Montes Winery has also been a pioneer in sustainability within the Chilean wine industry. The winery has implemented multiple ecological initiatives, including:
– Efficient water use: Thanks to advanced drip irrigation technologies, water consumption is reduced without affecting vine quality.
– Dryland viticulture: Vines are grown with minimal intervention, allowing them to develop deep roots and capture the essence of the terroir.
– Renewable energy: The winery has incorporated solar panels and practices to reduce its carbon footprint.
