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 Sauzal Vineyard (marked as lot #105, and previously bottled with numbers 95, 85, 75, 65 and 55) feels a little riper and with some more rustic tannins than the 2018. Since 2018, they have started using more stems in the fermentation, more than 20%, with native yeasts and with very little extraction through punch-downs and more integration of tannins through the stem. Like many 2019s, the wine is a little lower in alcohol and has higher acidity, but somehow the wine here comes through as riper. The growing seasons were obviously different... 4,564 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2021. Wine Advocate 94
