Haras de Pirque 'Galantas' Gran Reserva Cabernet Franc - 2018 (750ml)

Galantas is produced from our organic vineyards in the Maipo Valley, in order to faithfully represent the Cabernet Franc of this territory along with a small percentage of Carménère. A wine capable of expressing the vibrant elegance and finesse of Cabernet in this unique terroir.

Galantas is red tending towards purple in color. The nose is spicy and fresh: notes of tobacco and roasted coffee merge with hints of dark berries. The palate is elegant with excellent structure and is defined by pleasant tannins accented by aromas of dark fruit, cassis, hints of graphite and spicy fresh notes. A classic wine from the Maipo Andes Valley. - Winemaker's Notes

94 points Descorchados - Patricio Tapia

This is the second version of Galantas, a cabernet franc (with 15% carménère) based on vineyards planted in 2000 on the hills on the Haras de Pirque property, about 700 meters above sea level. There the franc takes on a pronounced herbal note joined to ripe red fruits. As part of its DNA, this wine has tannins that are firm but never aggressive. It’s a wine for the cellar.

92 points Wine Spectator

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. - Kim Marcus November 30, 2021
