Montevista represents an approachable and vibrant expression of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted by the pioneering team at Emiliana. Sourced from the expansive terroirs of Chile's Central Valley, this wine benefits from a classic Mediterranean climate where warm, sun-drenched days are tempered by cool evening breezes descending from the Andes Mountains. This dramatic diurnal temperature shift allows the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while retaining fresh acidity. The history of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile is illustrious; imported from Bordeaux in the mid-19th century, these vines thrived on their own roots due to the country's natural geographic barriers protecting it from phylloxera. In the Montevista bottling, the focus is on showcasing this pure, unadulterated varietal character, delivering a fruit-forward profile with soft tannins and subtle spice, reflective of the valley's fertile soils and sustainable viticultural heritage.
