Next on the list for a visit was Montes Wines in Apalta in the Colchagua Valley. It is an impressive modern winery and despite being a bigger producer there definitely seemed a dedication to excellence. Even the cellar room plays music to the ageing vino downstairs.

Our favourite wine here was the Montes Alpha Pinot Noir 2006.
