Product notes

Galantas represents the maximum expression of Cabernet Franc in the Maipo Andes valley. A wine capable of expressing the characteristic vibrance, elegance, and finesse of this unique terroir. The grapes are sourced from Haras de Pirque’s organic vineyards, situated in the Maipo Andes valley at over 2300 feet (700 meters) above sea level. 

Production notes

The four separate Cabernet Franc vineyard plots and the Carménère were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and French oak casks. The cold, prefermentation maceration lasted from three to five days and aimed at fully bringing out the aromatic components of the grapes. After the fermentation, which utilized solely spontaneous yeasts, the wine went into barrique where it aged for a period of fourteen months. 

Tasting notes

Galantas shows a violaceous colour. The nose expresses notes of dark berry fruit as blueberries and blackberries. The palate is supple, ample, persistent and characterized by pleasant tannins. A wine capable of demonstrating all of the character of the Maipo Andes valley.
