Merchant's description
Montes Folly 2020 is a single-vineyard Syrah from the Apalta region of Chile. The grapes come from a steep, south-facing plot in Finca Apalta, celebrated for its ideal conditions for red wine cultivation. Here, granite soils with low organic matter promote deep root growth, yielding small amounts of highly concentrated fruit. The vineyard benefits from a cool climate due to nighttime breezes, crucial for maintaining acidity and developing complexity in the fruit.
