País is under the radar for those not in the wine industry. It thrives in Chile where you can find original rootsock vines upwards of 200 years of age. This a bright, lifted example that opens with notes of black cherries, red plum, maitakes and forest floor. The palate is juicy with a bright acidity that cuts through a lean, mineral-driven texture before reaching its fruity, peppery and slightly smoky conclusion. If you're a fan of Gamay, you will love this.

Garage Wine was literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo handcraft wines from a series of individual vineyards located in the Maule and Itata Valleys, in the south of Santiago, Chile.

Garage Wine Co makes wines from a series of individual parcels, small lots / bottlings of 8-22 barrels that include a series of dry-farmed field-blends of Carignan, Garnacha, Monastrell, País, Cinsault and Cab Franc grown on pre-phylloxera rootstock with small farmers in the Maule and Itata. Each wine is from a 1-2 hectare parcel in a different place.
