About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazAll of the engenuity and genius of Aurelio Montes can be seen in this extraordinary wine. It was considered "folly" to plant Syrah (Shiraz) grapes high in Chile's Apalta Valley, but Aurelio knew different. Today this magnificent expression of the grape grown on slopes of 45° shows the full gamet of flavours including an interesting tobacco and vanillin finish. While it's a wine for the glass, it equally at home in your cellar.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The 2006 Folly is a world class Syrah (not only because of the superb Ralph Steadman label)... Voluptuous on the palate but not heavy, it has gobs of sweet fruit, layers of flavor, a firm structure... Drink this impeccably balanced, lengthy effort from 2015 to 2026.
