SOURCE: Galantas represents the maximum expression of Cabernet Franc in the Maipo Andes Valley. A wine capable of expressing the vibrant elegance and delicacy of this variety in this unique terroir.
The grapes come from our organic field located in Pirque, Maipo Andes valley. The Haras de Pirque vineyards are located 700 meters above sea level, where the Cabernet Francs can express their great potential due to the cold nights of the foothills of the Andes.
CLIMATE: The 2018 vintage in Pirque was considered a great vintage for the red varieties. The cool temperatures during the ripening period preserved the aromas and flavors of the grapes. The Cabernet Franc harvest was carried out in two stages, the vineyards located in the upper part at the beginning of April and in the foothills at the end of the same month. The Carménère, a late variety, was harvested in mid-May.
WINEMAKING: The 4 different plots of Cabernet Franc and Carménère were vinified independently in stainless steel and French oak vats. It precedes the alcoholic fermentation, a cold maceration for 3 to 5 days, to maximize its aromatic potential. After alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts, the wine was transferred to barrels for a period of 14 months.
TASTING NOTES: Purplish red colour. Intense aromas of black fruits such as blueberries and blackberries. In the mouth it is smooth, with pleasant tannins and a wide and persistent volume on the palate. A wine that will be considered a new classic from the Maipo Andes.
