Aurelio Montes often made the same flight and saw the geese flying back and forth. During one of these flights, the name of the winery was born. How fitting!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaiken Wines was founded in 2001 by Aurelio Montes Sr., one of Chile's most famous winemakers, as he was instrumental in the great development of Chilean viticulture. For example, he was one of the first – he himself convincingly claims to be the first – to give due attention to the terroir concept and to plant vineyards on steep slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalbec is undoubtedly the king of grapes in Argentina. The Kaiken Ultra Malbec comes from 3 different vineyards in the Uco Valley. All with diverse soil types and a characteristic top layer of rocky cobbles. The variation in sun, location and difference in soil type gives a distinctive character and a unique complex wine with a beautiful structure and a long finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Ultra Malbec has been aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 1\/3 new oak and 2\/3 used oak. The wine has aromas of ripe red fruit, blackberries, spices and tobacco. The taste is full, dark and you taste concentrated ripe fruit with a velvety finish. What a lively wine and what power! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition - 94 points (2020)\u003cbr\u003eJames Suckling - 93 points (2019)\u003cbr\u003eDecanter - 90 points (2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaiken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944359563589,"sku":"P29082","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/ff74b67385826f768e80e28c3fa9dc49567fafcb.jpg?v=1787299763","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/kaiken-ultra-malbec","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
