Description
About This Wine
Purple Angel comes from Montes’ Finca Apalta Estate vineyard with some additions from their Marchigüe Estate vineyard. These two unique vineyards feature granite-rich soils in differing degrees of granitic soil of both vineyards boast incredible diversity, varied in the clay content, depth, and amount of organic matter, with stones ranging from fluvial to glacial origins. Some zones are influenced by the Tinguiririca River while others are marked by mudslides and the detachment of material from high above in the mountain chain that delimits the valley. One of Chile’s most celebrated wines, Purple Angel’s Carmenère is planted in deep, rich soils, with moderate water retention, while the Petit Verdot comes from Marchigüe’s wind-swept slopes.
