Medium-bodied but densely flavoured, holding firm acidity, tannins that feel fine and almost granitic, and a long mineral close. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eToronto-born Derek Mossman Knapp went to Chile to ski and stayed for the wine, co-founding The Garage Wine Company in 2001 with his wife Pilar and the oenologist Dr Álvaro Peña. Working the Coastal Range of the Maule, they built a revival programme around old, neglected parcels nurtured vine by vine with small vigneron partners using regenerative farming, and the wines are made in small lots with wild yeasts, manual punch-downs and a small basket press. This bottling comes from a three-hectare vineyard more than 150 years old south of Cauquenes, roughly 13 miles from the Pacific, where dry-farmed bush vines grafted onto País rootstock sit on quartz-bearing silty, sandy granitic soils and crop barely a kilo of small berries per plant; the vineyard is worked by hand and horse, and pruning follows the locality's traditional moon cycles rather than a standard biodynamic calendar. The 2020 fermented naturally in open-top fermenters, a fifth of it as whole bunches trodden by foot, and aged in third-use barrels and some foudres over two winters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16-18°C. It suits roast lamb, a rare côte de boeuf, slow-braised short rib, or a hard sheep's cheese. Drinking now but built to keep ten to twenty years; an hour in a decanter helps while it is still young. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garage Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58475911807359,"sku":"HNW-5822420A","price":44.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/5822420A.jpg?v=1789917994","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2020-cabernet-sauvignon-renacido-vineyard-garage-wine-company","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
