A field blend of mostly Carignan with Garnacha and Mataro, grown in a single vineyard that sits at the edge of a coastal river, tended by hand and by horse by the Solar family. A remarkably Old World nose of spicy cinnamon, earth and ripe red berries, reminiscent of the top quality Southern Rhône crus. On the palate, firm, gritty tannins deliver dark, savory flavors of graphite, blackberry and earth.

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.
