Galantas represents the maximum expression of Cabernet Franc in the Maipo Andres valley. A wine capable of expressing the characteristic vibrance, elegance, and finesse of this unique terroir. The grapes are sourced from Haras de Pirque’s organic vineyards, situated in the Maipo Andes valley at over 2300 feet (700 meters) above sea level. Here Cabernet Franc succeeds in expressing to the maximum degree its important potential, much assisted by the cool nights of the Andres foothills.
Galantas shows a violet color. The nose expresses notes of dark berry fruit as blueberries and blackberries. The palate is supple, ample, persistent and characterized by pleasant tannins. A wine capable of demonstrating all of the character of the Maipo Andes valley. Perfect with game, meat-based dishes and stuffed pasta.
Grapes: 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Carménère
92 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
92 James Suckling 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.
90 Wine Enthusiast 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.
