Download Complete Production Notes

Viña MontGras, in Chile’s Colchagua Valley, was established in 1992 by brothers Hernán and Eduardo Gras, together with their partner Cristián Hartwig. The fruit of a mission to produce estate-grown wines of exceptional quality and originality, the MontGras estate today encompasses over 200 hectares planted to vine in the heart of Chile’s wine-producing region. Since the first harvest in the early 1990s, MontGras wines have earned over 200 medals and awards worldwide, garnering international critical acclaim. Santiago Margozzini serves as head winemaker.

Four outstanding grape varieties come into play in Quatro, a singular and distinctive red wine made from selected handpicked grapes. Quatro is the outcome of a judicious blend, with each variety proportionally reflected in the colors adorning the front label: Carmenère (Turquoise), Merlot (Blue), Cabernet Sauvignon (Burgundy) and Malbec (Violet).
