			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you loved #14 you are certainly going to love this year&#8217;s mountain Cab. </strong><em>For those of you who invested early you are going to be thrilled about this wine [please forgive my excessive modesty for now until you try the wine and understand]. This is the same fruit from the Upper Maipo, that we picked six days earlier this year.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-304" title="2008-gwco-mtncab-16-med2" src="http://www.garagewineco.cl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2008-gwco-mtncab-16-med2.jpg" alt="2008-gwco-mtncab-16-med2" width="141" height="513" /></em></p>
<p><strong>#16</strong> <strong>Mountain Cab</strong> was made from fruit from just about as high in the Andes on the Maipo river foothills as one can get. It was farmed for low-yields with purpose to make high-calibre Cab by a small grower who makes some brilliant wines of his own.<br />
This is our 2008 Mountain Cabernet farmed near the banks of the Rio Claro (tributary of the Maipo). It was harvested in very early May, was cold macerated for 8 days on its skins, fermented in 500 L bins with punch down or pistonage. It was post macerated 12 days and it grew into a bigger beast than last year. If it has more wood it is only because there was more fruit to be married with it. It is deep garnet in colour, big on fruit (the touch of jamminess has firmed up this year) yet with an elegance and robustness that seem to defy co-existence.</p>
<p style="float: right; width: 135px; margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left: 8px; padding-bottom: 8px; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px; color: #330000; text-align: right;">Most of this wine is allocated early on, but we shall make and effort if you do! <a title="Contact" href="http://www.garagewineco.cl/">Get in touch very soon</a><a href="http://www.garagewineco.cl/" target="_self"> </a>or forever hold your peace&#8211; bueno for another year.</p>
<p>#16 has the same plenty of old Cabernet cherries, dried cherries, plums, a spicey middle-eight, a soft note of honey and chestnut, and long brooding finish.</p>
<p>This wine is perhaps a little less approachable upon release than last year&#8217;s but should cellar significantly longer. (#18 Cabernet-Carignan is our most approachable wine upon release this year.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This wine is perhaps a species of &#8220;ending of our beginning&#8221; for GWCo.</p>
<p>The base or core of this wine is Cabernet from the Maipo made in classic style with both floral elegance, big shouldered firmness and that deep brooding fruit of our previous vintages working with this fruit.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-475" title="mgwco-18-big" src="http://www.garagewineco.cl/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/mgwco-18-big-219x300.jpg" alt="mgwco-18-big" width="219" height="300" />Various lots go in to this meritage some fermented hotter (30C) for tannins and spiciness and others colder for finesse and persistence of fruit.</p>
<p>The Carignan is fruit from Old-bush vines (aprox 80 years) whose age-old balance deep in the Maule lends complexity, spiceness, and a natural freshness and acidity that make this wine groove.</p>
<p>Of all this years wines this for some will be the most approachable today. For others, this will be the most cellarable long-term. You decide both camps are right.</p>
<p>Again we would like to thank a pair of French hands for guidance with the Carignan and a pair of organic hands for their opinions in the blending&#8211; both of them know who they are.</p>

<p>&#8220;Los 10 mejores Vinos &#8220;garage&#8221; &#8211; Un viento fresco en la escena chilena.&#8221;</p>
<p>El grupo de cata de Wikén se puso mameluco para catar estos vinos hechos a pulso, en su mayoría elaborados en forma artesanal. Un viento fresco en la escena chilena.</p>
<p>POR PATRICIO TAPIA</p>
<p>Por cierto que no está regulado ni tampoco hay definiciones precisas sobre lo que es o hasta dónde llega una bodega &#8220;garage&#8221;, este fenómeno mundial que hace referencia a proyectos pequeños, hechos casi siempre a pulso, produciendo cantidades reducidas de vinos que se encuentran al margen de los canales normales del vino. Una suerte de outsiders que luchan &#8211; en el mejor de los casos- por hacer vinos a su propia pinta, sin presiones comerciales o, al menos, no determinados por ellas.</p>
<p>En Chile es un fenómeno creciente que surge hace fines de los 90 con la creación de Antiyal, el proyecto de Álvaro Espinoza y sus algo más de tres mil botellas de una mezcla tinta cosecha 1998. Hoy Antiyal más que &#8220;garage&#8221; es &#8220;boutique&#8221;; es decir, una viña pequeña, aún orientada a la calidad antes que a la cantidad, mientras que una nueva comunidad de garagistas comienza a mostrar sus vinos en un intento necesario por darle algo de aire y diversidad a la escena local. En este grupo hay desde médicos hasta enólogos que buscan proyectos paralelos en donde mostrar algo más de lo que saben. También varían entre una producción de un puñado de botellas hasta un par de miles de cajas. Los vinos también son de calidad variable y la mayoría son tintos que muestran aromas y sabores generosos, pero que también pecan de texturas algo rústicas que piden comida potente para lograr balance. Aunque aún no podemos hablar de una categoría &#8220;garage&#8221; en Chile, sí creemos que es un fenómeno que ha llegado para quedarse. Los dieciocho vinos que probamos, más los otros que están en producción, lo comprueban.</p>
<p>PANEL DE CATA: Los sommeliers Magda Saleh (Hotel Ritz), Macarena Lladser y Héctor Riquelme (Mundo del Vino) y Patricio Tapia (columnista de Wikén) PRODUCCIÓN DE CATA: Arelis Beque.</p>
<p>NOta : 88 &#8211; ***  Garage Wine Company, Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Alto Maipo Un garage de tomo y lomo es este proyecto de los enólogos Pilar Miranda, Alvaro Peña y el canadiense Derek Mossman. Todo es artesanal en estado puro. Este cabernet, por ejemplo, es floral y lleno de frutas rojas. Un vino amable para el asado.  (www.garagewineco.cl ó 717-7337)</p>
