Montes "Folly" wine label poster/print designed by British artist and renowned Hunter S. Thompson illustrator and collaborator Ralph Steadman to celebrate Chile’s first ultra-premium Syrahs from the Apalta vineyards; iconic angel described perfectly by Michael Huband, editor at “The Drinks Business”: She is tipsy, and perhaps a little flirty: barefoot, one leg flicked up behind her, with a jolt of scarlet on her lips…It might well be the perfect metaphor for the wine. Heavenly, yes, but you could not deny the dash of madness that goes into Montes Folly.” Inscribed by Apalta vineyard co-owner Aurelio Montes: “For our big collaborator Aurelio Montes"; 30.75”H x 27"W; wine not included 😞
