Garage Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon

Part of the Chile's Garage Wine Co. range from small, single old vine vineyards. They pride themselves on creating small lots of handcrafted wines with grapes sourced from small growers in the Maipo and Maule valleys. This wine uses a single parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Renacido vineyard in Maule. Farmed by hand and horse, the grapes are fermented naturally, hand punched and pressed, before neutral-barrel ageing over two winters.

Lot #74 shows deep, luscious aromas of blackcurrant, dark berry fruit, subtle summer herbs, tobacco and cracked black pepper. The bright and intense palate is full of fruit and spice with a long, smoky and gentle finish. Has potential to develop in the bottle for many years to come. Try with beef or lamb dishes, mushrooms, or aged semi-hard cheeses such as cheddar and gouda. 

Garage Wine Co. was founded by a group of wine enthusiasts who decided to make world class wines from, well, their garage! Stripping winemaking back to basics and selling to friends and family, it appeared their traditional, lovingly crafted approach was a great success, with demand soon enough exceeding supply. Truly unique, bold and eclectic wines with wonderful complexity of fruit, they maintain a relatively small output regardless of their international success to ensure the highest quality is maintained.
