Founded by Chilean wine maestro Aurelio Montes in 2002, Kaiken is known for its big, juicy malbecs and soft, easy cabernet sauvignons. However, in recent vintages, the winery has also produced some fresh whites. Interestingly, Kaiken is named after a wild goose that flies between southern Argentina and Chile because Montes used to fly across the Andes frequently. As an expert winemaker and founding partner of Viña Montes in Chile, Montes and his team in Argentina have been persistent with their close supervision over the low-yielding vineyards in Mendoza. Coupled with the region’s unique terroirs, Kaiken has been consistently making excellent, fruit-forward wines that maintain their freshness and drinkability.
