The Estate

The Caiquén is a wild goose from Patagonia that flies across The Andes between Argentina and Chile. By embarking on this cross-border flight the Caiquén takes up a major challenge. Just like the Caiquén, Aurelio Montes, founder of the Chilean winery Bodega Montes, made several trips across the Andes until, in 2000 he rediscovered Mendoza as a generous land filled with superb vines and hardworking people.

Wine Making

The harvest presented extreme temperature variations, delaying budbreak and translating into lower sugar levels at first, which became stable in April. Polyphenolic ripeness was outstanding, especially for grapes harvested during this month.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with beef, lamb, and poultry dishes.
