The nose is floral, elegant and more subtle than previous years, becoming deeper and more nuanced with time in the glass. The palate shows great freshness with a thread of fine acidity going through its backbone. Spice and mineral-accented aromas of red and blue fruit joined by slowly emerging violet and murtilla notes. Sappy and concentrated but lithe, with energetic black raspberry and floral pastille flavours on the mid-palate and a bracing suggestion of blood orange that adds bite to the back half. Long, long life ahead.

"In these times it is important to stand for what you believe in, and more importantly to build the kind of business you believe in. At Garage Wine Co. we revive old vineyards in marginalized Chilean communities to make coveted wines. We’ve positioned these wines in a dozen established fine wine markets around the world and we grow. The wines are not made to be expensive per se, but they are found on the higher shelves– they need to command a price that allows for proper farming. What we have discovered is that the long-term practices of regenerative farming not only make for better fruit and thus more flavourful wine, but that such a business can become a force for financial, community and environmental good."
How is Cru different?
- Over 12 harvests in Truqui two distinct personalities emerged: now 2 wines
- Cru is from a small triangular section with less natural yield
- It has greater concentration, and a darker more brooding personality
- It is fermented with more stems and mostly Nadalie Noisette Toast barrels 3-4 use
- Syrah in the blend lends weight, depth, texture (it is a stone’s throw away on other side of the creek)
