Garage Wine Co was quite literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo have chosen to revive old vineyards in marginalized Chilean communities. They work mostly in the regions of Maule and Itata where they make highly coveted wines.
This Maipo Valley Cab is crafted with a distinctly lighter touch. A portion of whole clusters and stems in the ferment adds aromatic lift and depth, softening the appellation’s typical weight and lending the wine a more agile, refined profile. New oak was deliberately avoided to emphasize purity, freshness, and drinkability.
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby colour and an expressive bouquet of fresh red fruits, cherry pit, and dried flowers, accented by subtle black pepper. The palate is vibrant and juicy, with flavours of cherry and raspberry layered with a pronounced floral note. Silky, well-integrated tannins provide structure and carry through to a long, energetic finish.
