Cool sea breezes and ocean mist ensure slow ripening of the grapes. This allows them to retain their natural acidity and aromatic freshness. Montes therefore describes the wine as a typical expression of a cool climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning and transported cooled to the winery. After careful selection, a short cold maceration follows. Subsequently, the juice is fermented at a low temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current style of the wine is made without oak aging. This ensures that the fresh acidity, citrus fruit, and aromatic properties of Sauvignon Blanc remain fully to the fore. After fermentation, the wine matures on its fine lees before being bottled.\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\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e94 points – Descorchados, vintage 2023\u003cbr\u003e93 points – James Suckling, vintage 2023\u003cbr\u003e93 points – Alistair Cooper MW, vintage 2023\u003cbr\u003eGold medal – Global Wine Masters, vintage 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eOuter Limits\u003c\/strong\u003e refers to Montes' search for vineyards in places where viticulture is literally pushed to its boundaries.
