Where Angels Tread: The Story of Vina Montes

Over the past decade and a half, Chilean wines have become familiar to wine lovers worldwide. But in the late 1980's, the situation was very different. Chile's wine industry was in a backward state and those of its wines that found their way out onto the international stage were little more than curiosities.In 1988, four Chilean wine professionals came together with a simple plan to break away from the mould: to capitalize on the country's heaven-sent climate and wine making potential and make the very best wines that Chile could offer. From modest beginnings it was a plan that has grown, in only a matter of years, into one of the modern-day wine success stories - one that has helped change the perception of Chile as a wine-producing country. The name of the venture is Montes and in this book Jamie Ross tells its remarkable story.
