;-) - saludos a todos quienes me han mandado mails sin sacar las huellas de su ayudante AI esta semana...
@sommeliernomada Nos cuenta un poco sobre esta joya que tenemos disponible.

Desde Chile, @garagewineco nos trae una edición de producción limitada que conquista desde la primera copa. Ven a degustar el Pereira Vineyard Syrah 2021 exclusivo en OLIVO Wine Bar. 🍷

Te esperamos en la barra.
@garagewineco no produce vino a gran escala. Trabaja con pequeñas parcelas del Maule e Itata junto a familias que cultivan la tierra de forma tradicional, incluso con arado y caballo. Sus viñedos antiguos, con cepas como Carignan, País y Garnacha, no solo dan origen a vinos únicos, sino que también ayudan a preservar una tradición. 

Gracias a los viñedos de secano y al movimiento @vignadores_de_carignan podemos conocer con profundidad esta parte tan importante y histórica de Chile.🇨🇱

Partners & Testimonials

From a pragmatic, forward-thinking perspective focused on reformation, education and production, Garage Wine Co. stands out as one of the most unique and impactful producers in the modern landscape of winemaking. Their wines are simply a byproduct of their primary mission: to revive the neglected vineyard sites while training, empowering and employing the workers who tend to them. Founded in 2001, Garage has steadily bootstrapped its way into becoming one of the leading producers in the country. Its seeming paradoxes make it all the more refreshing and singular: an underground ethos with broad mainstream appeal, rigorous attention to detail with an authentic lack of pretense and palpable passion delivered with undeniable quality. **MATTHEW LUCZY** Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

¨If there is one producer in Chile making a truly significant impact and defining new styles, it is Garage Wine Co. They are dedicated to exploring and restoring old vineyards, farming the sites with horses using traditional techniques adapted with modern science and perspective. The resulting wines consistently diverge from the Chilean mainstream and maintain exceptionally high standards.¨

JOAQUIN HIDALGO

"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”

Evan Goldstein

Master Sommelier

"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"

Luis Gutierrez

Wine Advocate

¨Garage Wine Co. is our Winery of the Year 2021 — and without doubt the most essential and disruptive Chilean winery of the last decade.¨

How we work

We don´t believe the business of sustainability is certification. We´re rethinking old vines and regenerative methods to unlock both flavour and a viable economic future for the farmers. It´s just better business long-term — learn.
