Description
 
Garage Wine Co (Est. 2001) (https://www.garagewineco.cl/) is a new brand we took on this year. A rising star in Maule & Itata valley (one of Chile's Southern-Most Wine Regions), they specialize in dry farmed, old vine Carignan and other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Pais, Carinera, Cinsault & Semillon. Work elbow to elbow with the local community, they revived countless old vines with small growers in Maule and Maipo, making them one of the very few socially responsible, garage-like projects in Chile.

The 2019 Truquilemu Vineyard follows the path of the brilliant 2018 with moderate alcohol (13.1%) and great freshness and acidity, a tad below in refinement (within the authentic and rustic character of the zone and the wines), from the old vines on the Coastal Range mountains where the soils have lots of quartz, full of crystals on decomposed granite with silty and sandy texture. The cool place and the soil provide very fresh wines even in warmer and drier years, worked following ancestral traditions and pruned with the moon cycles but not to a modern biodynamic calendar, but rather with local custom. Tasting the different wines from the same vineyard from 2018 and 2019 was fascinating, and the wines didn't stop changing in the glass for hours. I think all these wines are going to develop nicely in bottle. 10,021 bottles were filled in January 2021. Wine Advocate 97
