Contrary to much harvest PR not every Garage harvest is more perfect than the last. 2022 had its challenges.
In 2022 we picked smaller sectors on the farms with greater precision. For 3-4 years now we have had our own picking team for harvest, but this year more than ever we were able to do is break down the pieces of each farm and pick piece by piece. It will make for crispy Rosé, bright whites, and brooding ethereal Cariñenas including two from new sites. Stay tuned!

"The wines have depth and keep the freshness, the character of the vintage, the grapes and especially the places where they are grown. A name to follow, among the most exciting in Chile. Tasting the whole range is one of the highlights of my Chilean report every year"
"Garage Wine Company is one of the most exciting producers in South America and its heartbeat, Derek Mossman Knapp, is an eno-inspiration to a nation. Pioneers in preserving the living patrimony of Chile's old-vines, Garage advocates for regenerative agriculture in collaboration with the small vignerons”
¨Garage Wine Co. is our Winery of the Year 2021 — and without doubt the most essential and disruptive Chilean winery of the last decade.¨
