Product Notes

Garage Wine Co. is a Chilean winery that focuses on producing high-quality, artisanal wines using traditional winemaking techniques. The Vigno Carignan Field Blend is a unique wine that combines Carignan and other grape varieties grown in the Maule Valley region. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using native yeasts before being aged in old oak barrels. The result is a rich and complex wine with aromas of dark fruits, spices, and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. This wine is a perfect example of Garage Wine Co.'s commitment to producing wines with authentic flavors and character.

Tasting Notes

Spice and mineral-accented aromas of red and blue fruit joined by slowly emerging violet and rhubarb notes. Sappy and concentrated blackberry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors are balanced by bracing acidity and refreshingly bitter note of blood orange. Finishes smooth, sweet and long.

About the Winery

Garage Wine Co.

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.
