Pilar Miranda and her husband Derek Mossman have been making small-production wines from old-vine parcels in Maule with their Garage Wine Co label since 2001. As the name suggests, this is a small-parcel selection from vines aged 65 years or more in a small vineyard block of bush vines in the heart of Maule. The grapes are fermented on the skins in amphorae and century-old clay tinajas, then the wine is aged with the skins (after removing seeds) for a further eight months in a combination of amphorae, plastic Flextanks and old barrels. Amanda Barnes MW: Inviting aromas of orange oil, bergamot and white blossom. A supple, almost silky mouthfeel. Delightful poise. Florencia Gomez: Perfumed and sweet-fruited, with elegant ripe mango and passion fruit on the palate. Lovely ash and incense complexity, and tons of drive. Savoury and inviting. Benjamin Gubbins: Lime and lemon verbena, wet stone, honey, umami. Some light tannic texture, lots of complexity and presence.
