Vinification of the Outer Limits CGM from Montes

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful cuvée Outer Limits CGM from Montes are Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes. The development of the grapes for this wine from Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre is influenced to a very high degree by the climate of the growing region. In Valle Central, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected, among other things, in particularly long and uniform grapes and a rather moderate must weight. When the perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Outer Limits CGM are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately sent to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
