Tasting note Montes Outer Limits CGM (Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre)
The nose reveals ripe raspberries, sour cherries, blackberries and blueberries, complemented by sweet spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. In the background, subtle notes of jam and a light toast are perceptible.
The palate is lively and juicy, with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a medium body. The wine has a remarkably long finish and remains beautifully balanced.
A characterful and lively red blend from the Colchagua Valley in Chile. CGM stands for Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre, three grape varieties that together produce a surprisingly juicy and spicy wine.
Wine & Food
Montes Outer Limits CGM is delicious with lamb, grilled meat, stews, spicy sausage, barbecue and Mediterranean dishes. It also makes for a lovely combination with dishes featuring eggplant, bell pepper and tomato.
Other information
The Montes Outer Limits series was developed from the search for exceptional and sometimes extreme terroirs in Chile. For the CGM, Montes chose Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley, where granite-rich soils and the climate produce grapes with great character.
This combination is best known from the South of France and the Rhône, but Montes gives it a distinctly Chilean twist. As a result, the wine has a beautiful combination of ripe fruit, spiciness, freshness and structure.
A unique aspect of this wine is its maturation in concrete eggs. Montes uses large concrete vessels with an egg-shaped design for this purpose. Due to the natural movement of the wine during aging, the wine can develop without the character of oak being added.
In addition, a portion of the wine has only brief contact with French oak, creating subtle notes of toast and spices without the wood overpowering the fruitiness.

Fun fact
CGM is actually a short abbreviation for a very classic Mediterranean combination: Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre. We know these three grapes primarily from the South of France, but here, Montes lets them truly shine in Chile. And it is precisely the combination with the granite-rich soils of Colchagua that gives the wine its own unique Chilean character.
