Garage scores from Luis Gutiérrez

Thursday, 20 April 2023 by Rocio Diaz

We are indeed content in the Garage with the results of the latest Chile Report from Luis Gutiérrez and Robert Parker´s Wine Advocate. Beyond scores perhaps the consistency of the parcels vintage 2016 thru 2020 and their recommended cellaring makes us all the more jubilant.

The 2020 Cru Truquilemu is a Cariñena field blend with Syrah that comes from a low-yielding section of the old Truquilemu Vineyard that they have been vinifying for years and cultivated with a combination of original methods for cultivating the old vines—i.e., farmed by hand and horse, accompanied by the analysis and scientific ideas of Professor Alvaro Peña, who is a Garage partner and their in-house PhD in viticulture. It fermented in open-top 1,500- and 2,500-kilo lagar fermenters, using punch-downs and more stems than in the regular Truquilemu. They use first-class barrels that are third-use or older and age the wines slowly over two winters. It has 12.8% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity. This is always one of the highlights of the portfolio, and in 2020, it’s no exception; it’s elegant, clean and floral and with no traces of excess, subtle, more closed than other 2020s, serious and simply terrific, transcending the vintage. 5,233 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

The 2020 Vigno is selected from specific plots of their vineyard in Truquilemu that are traditionally farmed; everything is done by hand and with animals. It is spectacular and transcends the nature of the vintage, coming through as fresh, aromatic and floral. It fermented with some 20% stems and indigenous yeasts and matured in well-seasoned, neutral barrels for two winters. It has 13.1% alcohol and a pH of 3.25, ethereal, with lots of inner energy, medium-bodied and with very fine tannins and terrific balance. 3,366 bottles produced.

The 2020 Truquilemu Vineyard follows the path of the 2018 and 2019 with even lower alcohol (12.9%) and great freshness and acidity, a pH of 3.36 and 6.4 grams of acidity. The modus operandi was the usual: fermented in open-top vats with indigenous yeasts and manual punch-down with a slow malolactic, which took 10 months to finish, and matured in used barrels over two winters. It contains some 4% Syrah. This has the ethereal quality of this vineyard, powerful but weightless. This place makes fresh wines even in warm vintages like 2020, and you feel that especially in the palate where the wine is vibrant and lively. 5,882 bottles were filled in February 2022.

It was produced with grapes from ancient País vines regrafted to Cabernet Sauvignon 10 years ago with some 12% Malbec in the field blend that has been, in the words of Derek Mossman, “uncertified organic for 75+ years.” It fermented in open lagars with indigenous yeasts and a small portion of whole clusters that were foot-trodden, then it matured in neutral barrels over two winters. It has 13.4% alcohol and an incredible pH of 3.3 with 6.23 grams of acidity. There’s finesse and perfume here, with the core of 2020 ripeness, but all very subtle. 6,940 bottles produced.

They added around 20% of the stems in the fermentation vessel. It has moderate alcohol, 13.6%, and more freshness and acidity, which they think is because there’s more Garnacha in the blend.

It’s paler and more floral than the 2021 I tasted next to it, younger and less developed, a little rounder and softer, a little gentler, but this can change a lot in the bottle. I think it will eventually be as good as the 2021 feels now… 6,201 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.

It’s even lower in alcohol (12.3%) and pH (3.1) and is aromatic and nuanced, and the palate is effervescent with acidity and minerality. This is a rosé like the Clarete from Pícaro del Águila, a serious wine that repays cellaring, but unfortunately, most people will drink it young and will miss the point and the complexity. 7,108 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2023.

The 2020 Bagual Vineyard Cariñena Garnacha Monastrell comes from plants that have been worked with regenerative farming with grower-partner the Solar family in transition now for three years, and it’s the first vineyard in Chile (three in Bagual) to receive Ecological Outcome Verification™ (EOV™) from the Savory Institute. It has 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.25 and 6.75 grams of acidity. Despite the moderate alcohol, I found the imprint of rusticity from 2020, the earthiness and the ripeness sensation, but as I often saw in many wines, the palate showed better, so it could be a transitional moment for the nose. The wine is medium-bodied with fine-grained, granite tannins and with purity of flavors and a long finish. 5,239 bottles were filled in February 2022.

The 2020 Las Higueras Vineyard comes from 120-year-old bush vines on alluvial soils in a vineyard that is no longer ploughed. The vines in Loncomilla are worked under regenerative viticulture, but there’s no organic certification. The wine is marked with Lot #122 and now bottled in a lighter Loire-shaped bottle, to reflect the new profile of the wine to something more elegant and graceful. It fermented with indigenous yeasts with 15% to 20% of the lignified stems added after the crush, with the cap punched down by hand and aged in third-use and more barrels for two winters. It has only 12.8% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity parameters. 2020 was warm and dry, and the harvest was early, before the big problems with COVID-19 started; but there’s a hint of ripeness here, coming through as faintly rustic, not as refined as the Cabernet Sauvignon from Maule… 9,671 bottles were filled in January 2022.

When the second day’s picking is ready, we simply stack a part or all on top of the tank already fermenting—one single ferment” was the explanation for the name of the wine, which finished with 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.48, quite low for the grape. The wine matured in what they described as very old barrels over one winter. It’s serious, with a slightly shy nose, not as open and expressive as others, more elegant, very clean and fresh.

This is a serious rosé that goes beyond the category; I drank a bottle of 2013 the day before I tasted this, and the wine was fantastic, a lot more nuanced and with depth, serious, which is how this wine should turn out with time in bottle.

It has 12.8% alcohol, moderate pH, 3.53, and good acidity. Mossman’s explanation was great: “If Cinsault is a sort of classic Little Black Dress, then Negramole is an elegant pair of capri linen trousers made to be worn with sandals.” I loved the wine, which is quite pale, aromatic, refined and different, with a strong personality. It feels mineral, like a wet pumice stone, and has complexity and depth. The palate feels elegant, balanced and fine-boned, tasty and refined. A great debut.

Serious País. 10,06 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

The Cabernet Franc 2019 Pirque Vineyard, marked with Lot #110, comes from a one-hectare vineyard planted in the 1980s in El Principal Pirque on alluvial soils at 600 meters in altitude. They transport the grapes to Maule to ferment it in open-top vats with indigenous yeasts and manual punching down, and they aged the wine, trying to control the power. It has 14% alcohol and good freshness, noted by a pH of 3.5. It comes through as quite ripe with some rustic earthiness and a more elegant palate. 4,740 bottles were filled from 16 barrels in February 2021.

Alvaro ¨The Investigator¨

Friday, 16 December 2022 by Derek Mossman Knapp

Terrific to see our partner Alvaro ¨The Investigator¨ given some well deserved ink. Alvaro is a study in under statement in the classic English tradition. A wine scientist he has published a great deal of ink / of papers over the years although perhaps he is better known in the 
academic community for his teaching. Never one to toot his own horn— nor take the time to be interviewed come to think of it, he is today Chile´s representative for the OIV, various academic boards and scientific bodies to boot. Alvaro quietly spends a great deal of time with Pilar and I in the Garage. He is an essential part of our viticulture practices and a fundamental part of blending. Trained in Europe and very well wine travelled, with years consulting he remains acutely and technically curious. He has one of the best palates in Chile, and his humility forms an integral part of its application. We have learned a great deal from Chile´s investigador. @la.cav

Estupendo ver nuestro socio Alvaro ¨El Investigador¨ recibe un poco de tinta bien merecida en La Cav. Álvaro es piola en la clásica tradición inglesa. Un científico del vino que ha publicado una gran cantidad de tinta en los últimos años, aunque tal vez es más conocido en la comunidad académica por su docencia. Toma pocas oportunidades de ser entrevistado, hoy en día es el representante de Chile en la OIV y en varios consejos académicos y organismos científicos y también Premio Mérito Vitivinícola por sus colegas. En silencio, Álvaro pasa mucho tiempo con Pilar y conmigo en el garaje. Es una parte esencial de nuestras prácticas de viticultura y una pieza fundamental en el ensamblaje. Formado en Europa y muy viajado por el vino, con años de consultoría sigue siendo un perseguidor curioso. Tiene uno de los mejores paladares de Chile, y su humildad forma parte integral de su aplicación. Hemos aprendido mucho de El Investigador.

Mesa de Cata La Cav 2022 – 2023

Sunday, 06 November 2022 by Derek Mossman Knapp

Very pleased with results of Mesa de Cata of La Cav this year. The wines did rather well tasted blind amongst their peers. If consistency is a virtue then the wines are virtuous indeed. [ The surgeon general recommends drinking various of our different bottlings / labels if you want to be more virtuous yourself 😊

Always good to see how wines do when tasted blind amongst their peers — all the more so a team of tasters come to agreement!

Read La Cav or better still click their subscribe button for the Magazine!

Más resultados de Mesa de Cata de La Cav. Estupendo ver que los vinos lo hacen bien catados a ciegas entre sus pares. De nuevo, si la constancia es una virtud, los vinos parecen ser virtuosos— y así se recomienda beber varias etiquetas si se quiere ser más virtuoso 😊.

About Garage Wine Co.

Garage Wine began quite literally in Pilar and Derek’s Garage. After half a dozen vintages making wine for an informal market of family and friends, it began exporting to UK & Denmark in 2006

The Parcels

GWCo 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: Bagual, Caliboro, Coelemu, Guarilihue, Loncomilla, Portezuelo, Puico, Ranquil, Sauzal, Truquilemu…

Over the years working in the community we have raised a veritable posse of vineyard hands whose skills are working the vineyards the old way / the traditional way— originario. We cultivate vineyards with small vigneron partners who work with horse and plough as his family has done for generations. Some of the parcels, where the next generation moved to the city, we have opted to rent long-term creating more work for the local hands who do want to stay on the farm.

Show More

The vineyards are on the old Coastal Range of mountains closer to the Pacific — Chile’s other mountains. These are older and cooled more slowly so they have granitic soils, many with intrusions and cracks for roots to get deep down into. When GWCo. speaks of the provenance of our wines however we mean more than just the geology of the terroir. This is a good start, but we are convinced the farming practices that have evolved over generations have as much to do with the wines’ personalities as the soils. The regeneration of the vineyards long since neglected depends upon this farming.

GWCo. also makes an old-vine Cab Franc (old bush head vines) and a Cab Sauv blend in the Maule as well as two Cabs mountain-grown in the Maipo where the firm began in 2003.

All the wines are made by hand with native yeasts in small tanks, punched down manually and pressed out in a small basket press. GWCo is still very much a DIY operation and we still tow much of the crop back to the winery in trailers behind trusty pickup trucks 2,ooo kilos at a time.

Single Ferment Series Wines

Pais & Cinsault in the Secano Interior, the cradle of the original Chilean viticulture, have been forever the victim of commodity pricing. When GWCo saw its Carignan growers being paid paltry sums for their other fruit we began acquiring small bits from various farmers to experiment. From the beginning, we paid bonafide prices that would allow for the traditional field works to cultivate the soil properly to continue into the future. Commercial bottlings of “Single Ferments” began with serendipity when we simply could not resist not one but three small bits of Cinsault. And then promptly plain ran out of tanks to ferment them in. With nowhere to put all three, we simply stacked the second bit of newly harvested fruit on top of the first already fermenting—and then the third on top of both, creating one single fermentation from the fruit of three farms. We adopted the same technique with Pais and subsequently named both wines: Single Ferment Series.

The Nitty Gritty

In these times it is important to stand for what you believe in, and more importantly to build the kind of business you believe in. At Garage Wine Co. we revive old vineyards in marginalized Chilean communities to make coveted wines. We’ve positioned these wines in a dozen established fine wine markets around the world and we grow. The wines are not made to be expensive per se, but they are found on the higher shelves– they need to command a price that allows for proper farming. What we have discovered is that the long-term practices of regenerative farming not only make for better fruit and thus more flavourful wine, but that such a business can become a force for financial, community and environmental good.

The Baby and the Bathwater  

As South American wine exports have boomed over the last quarter-century, it has grown increasingly difficult for small farmers to sell their old-vine grapes at a proper price – a price that can consistently sustain family and community. Mainstream buyers want more for less and they would have the growers modernise. The modern wine business calls for spraying instead of cultivating, scaling instead of focusing, and above all: reducing the cost of labour. But with the old vineyards, the labour is precisely where one finds the wisdom of farming passed down through the ages. Throwing that away would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Regenerative Farming

Farming in the Secano Interior, the Maule and Itata valleys of Southern Chile, has been a way of life since Colonial times. Not just vineyards, but mixed farming of heritage seed wheat, free-range livestock and local market produce. Small-scale farms use dry-farming methods: turning over the earth to capture scarce seasonal rainwater, and nutrients from the clever use of seasonal cover crops that in turn help sequester carbon from the air, and the use of horses to get into rows where tractors can’t reach.

This is where GWCo. works; too far from the comfort zone of those in the mainstream. These vineyards were neglected and relegated to bulk wine for decades because the booming market wanted branded varietals that didn’t command a price to support the work.

For more than a decade GWCo. has worked these old vines, there has been a marked improvement both in vineyard health and quality of the fruit produced.

The marrying of the fieldcraft of these small-scale farmers with the lens of modern science and GWCo’s mindful winemaking took a decade, but the marriage has proven successful not just for GWCo, but also for the farmers, our suppliers and customers alike. Over the past few years, we have begun to rent and in some cases acquire the property underneath the old vines. Today one-third of our production is worked our way with our own people.

Necessity was the mother of sustainability

Sustainability for us was never about seals and certifications. We became sustainable just trying to survive being small in an industry geared to the big. Vintage after vintage we made our way through a series of necessary work-arounds, finding a way forward, that only later would be seen to be sustainable.

Recycled bottles – Because our production runs were small we were challenged when it came to dry-goods. When bottle makers refused to deliver to us, we found a local bottle recycler who became a trusted partner. This small business employs workers in a rural part of the country where stable and safe work is hard to find. What we learned is that when bottles are manufactured they have a limited shelf-life on the factory patio—a best before date if you will. Today we buy these bottles and wash them before use. This is glass that would otherwise have been smashed and melted and remade—without ever having been used. What is the carbon footprint of a bottle manufactured twice to be used once?

Labels & Packaging— We learned to paint / silk-screen bottles because our bottlings were so small that the label printers did not want to work with us. The industry was geared to long print runs and said there was no money in printing 1200 labels. So we built a custom machine and found experienced hands with silk-screening. Luis, our bottle painter, has been painting bottles for us for 11 years now. (Chile’s first hotel built entirely of recycled materials: The WineBox, has adapted out bottles for their lamps today.)

What’s with the wax? - Regular capsules were also sold with a minimum far larger than our needs, so we found a school supply firm that would make us food-safe wax for seals from crayon wax.

All of these workarounds-- bothers slash hassles at the time, led to a positive and durable differentiation in packaging. We have continued to work with earth-friendly inks for silk screening and recycled materials for cases.

Fermentation tanks: Unable to buy new tanks— designed to make mainstream wines, large, expensive and inflexible in their design, we took the leftover cuttings and scraps of a large stainless manufacturer and pieced together Lagars (traditional word for open tanks). We did it for far less money and the upcycling created opportunities for local welding shops.

Fruit: Years ago we bought from mainstream growers. When we made a crackerjack wine, the grower would use the prestige with critics to sell our fruit to someone bigger / better known leaving us without said fruit and without continuity in our portfolio. After two or three experiences such as this, frustrated, we went South to the Secano to work with growers unknown, unpolished, and disconnected from the mainstream. Working closely with small growers far from the beaten path, we found diamonds in the rough. When the polishing was done we had forged a bond with the growers—partnerships that we have continued to build upon with others in the neighbourhood.

Diverse leadership

Let’s face it, the wine business can be conservative, clubby and patriarchic. Having a female lead our work helps us work with our growers and suppliers on a different footing. We also like to mix scientists with field hands. Instead of contracting the cheapest bused-in labour, we keep it local where there are more experienced hands. Mercenary piecework doesn’t work — proper sourcing does. It’s a mouthful, but in a phrase: the difference created by the discretionary effort released when you work in good faith with local farmhands is so much more than the savings that might be achieved from cost-cutting, that there’s no comparing the two. We have never looked back.
