For the CGM, Montes found Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley, where the granite-rich soils and climate produce grapes with great character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis combination is primarily known from Southern France and the Rhône, but Montes gives it a distinct Chilean twist. The wine therefore has a beautiful combination of ripe fruit, spiciness, freshness, and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA special aspect of this wine is its aging in concrete eggs. Montes uses large egg-shaped concrete vessels for this. Due to the natural movement of the wine during maturation, the wine can develop without the character of wood being added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, a portion of the wine has only brief contact with French oak, creating subtle notes of toast and spices without the wood dominating the fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more wines from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montes\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eMontes winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e92 points – Tim Atkin, vintage 2022\u003cbr\u003e90 points – Wine Advocate, vintage 2022\u003cbr\u003e90 points – Wines of Chile, vintage 2022\u003cbr\u003e95 points - Decanter vintage 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCGM is actually a short abbreviation for a very classic Mediterranean combination: Carignan, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. These three grapes are best known from Southern France, but Montes lets them run wild here in Chile. And it is precisely the combination with the granite-rich soils of Colchagua that gives the wine its own Chilean character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Montes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59098807206213,"sku":"35218","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/a9170078a4e20eefe634079c7166bb5b84d10502.jpg?v=1788440190","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/montes-outer-limits-cgm","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
