Product Notes

Garage Wine Co. Pais Lot 215 BC Ferment is a unique and refreshing wine from the Maule Valley in Chile. Made from the Pais grape variety, which was once considered the workhorse grape of Chilean winemaking, it has now been rediscovered by Garage Wine Co. and transformed into a delicious and complex wine with notes of red fruits, spices and a hint of earthiness.

What makes this wine special is not only its flavor, but also the way it is made. Garage Wine Co. practices minimal intervention winemaking, using traditional techniques such as foot-stomping grapes and fermenting in clay amphorae to achieve the purest expression of the terroir. With only 1,100 bottles produced, Garage Wine Co. Pais Lot 215 BC Ferment is a true gem that is worth discovering.

Tasting Notes

This saucy ruby wine is darker [and more serious] than many País out there with proper complexity and depth,ripe flavors and round tannins. This is the character of the grape on granite soils made in small lots with focus.

About the Winery

The Garage Wine Company Winery, located in Chile, is the place you need to go if you want to learn the art of personally crafting wines with hands. In the era of technology and modern equipment, this is a winery where the traditional methods are still followed perfectly. The wine production is quite limited here, because the process of cultivating, fermenting, storing and marketing the wines is very different here, when compared to the other wineries.

This winery was started by Derek Mossman, his wife, Pilar Miranda and Dr. Alvaro Pena. All three of them had many years of experience in working with other wineries; therefore, they decided to consolidate their expertise and start a company, where they wouldn’t rely on machines but their own hands. The grapes are sourced from the small-level wine farmers in the Chilean areas of Maule and Malpo. Then, the team at Garage Wine Company, start their natural process of making wines. Today, the winery makes around 1500 cases of wine per year. Carignan, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are the grapes used for making wines here.

In this winery, fermentation is done very naturally without the addition of any chemicals or toxic products. Only native yeast and a small amount of wood are used in this process. The grapes are pressed by hand in small, old-style baskets, to extract the full flavour and character of the fruits. Derek and his team knew that their winery’s independent style of working couldn’t stand next to the international wine players that had huge wineries in the world. However, he didn’t want the traditional wine-making process to be forgotten as well.

So, the owners of Garage Wine Company, along with 11 other small, independent winery owners started the MOVI (Movement of Independent Vintners) in 2009. Today, more than 30 small wineries spread across Chile and Garage are part of this movement.
