Vineyard & Terroir – Zapallar, Aconcagua Costa
The grapes for this Albariño are sourced from a single vineyard in Zapallar, located 120–150 metres above sea level in Chile’s Aconcagua Costa region. This pioneering site was first planted by Montes and benefits from a unique coastal terroir.
With clay-rich soils, cooling Pacific Ocean breezes, and the moderating influence of the Andes Mountains, the vineyard produces wines with:
• Bright, natural acidity
• Distinct minerality
• Elegant structure
• Intense aromatics
The maritime climate ensures slow, even ripening, ideal for preserving Albariño’s hallmark freshness.
Vintage Report – 2025 Growing Season
The 2025 vintage was shaped by favourable El Niño conditions, delivering higher-than-average winter rainfall. This improved soil moisture levels and supported healthy vine growth throughout the season.
Although cooler spring temperatures reduced yields, the summer conditions were near perfect:
• Cloudy mornings reduced heat stress
• Ocean breezes moderated afternoon temperatures
• Extended ripening enhanced flavour concentration
The result is a high-quality Albariño with excellent balance, vibrant acidity, and aromatic intensity, despite smaller production volumes.
Winemaking Process
Outer Limits Albariño 2025 is crafted with precision to preserve freshness and varietal purity:
• Hand-harvested grapes ensure optimal quality selection
• Transported in refrigerated containers to maintain freshness
• Gentle pressing followed by cold settling (12–24 hours)
• Fermented at low temperatures (12–13°C) in stainless steel tanks
• A short period on lees with bâtonnage enhances texture
• Light filtration before bottling preserves clarity and aroma
This careful vinification highlights the grape’s natural vibrancy and coastal character.
