The 2018 Cabernet Franc Gran Reserva Galantas from Pirque, Maipo Alto, is blended with 15% Carménère and was aged for 14 months in barrels. Garnet red in the glass, the pure and precise aromas feature blackcurrant and hints of mint, sour cherry and ash over an oaky and toasted layer. Lean and juicy in the mouth, the palate presents finely grained tannins enhanced by a mild freshness that keeps things flowing. Lingering with a smoked trace.

Svelte and richly spiced, with a silky texture to the layered dark currant, pomegranate and dark olive flavors that are backed by medium-grained tannins. Ends with dark chocolate and dried mint notes on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 200 cases imported.

Aromas of fresh blackcurrants and a peppery edge here, making for a striking combination with plenty of fragrance. The palate has a very juicy, supple and fleshy feel with long, fresh, red-berry and cherry flavors. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

This wine has a nose of struck match followed by berries. Similar and subtle notes of red fruit merge with bay leaf and spices on the palate. It has enough tannic structure to hold the flavors and provide a smooth texture.
