Tasting Notes
Hehe, here comes the bomb. Expressive bouquet of ripe dark fruits, pine, coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla. Its body is full and a bit heavy but friendly thanks to its syrup-like texture. Smooth and fruit-forward.
About
Galantas is produced from organic vineyards in the Maipo Andres Valley at 700 meters above sea level. It is a blend of Cabernet Franc (85%) and a small percentage of Carménère (15%). The four separate Cabernet Franc vineyard plots and the Carménère were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and French oak. The cold, pre-fermentation maceration lasted from three to five days. After the fermentation, which utilized solely spontaneous yeasts, the wine went into 60‐gallon French oak barrels where it aged for a period of fourteen months.
