Product Notes

Haras de Pirque Galantas Cabernet Franc Gran Reserva is a beautiful red wine that is rich, complex and elegant. The wine hails from the Maipo Valley which is known for producing some of the best Cabernet grapes in Chile. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels which adds a lovely vanilla, spice and toast notes to the wine. The wine has a deep purple color and a bouquet of blackberries, cherries and blueberries with hints of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, and spices. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, giving the wine a smooth and velvety finish. It is a perfect pairing with rich meat dishes, mature cheeses and charcuterie.

About the Winery

Set up in the Upper Maipo Valley in Chile, the Haras de Pirque winery was established during 1892. However, during that time, this place was only used as a racing stable. It was not until 1991 that winemaking began in this region by Eduardo Matte and the Antinori Family. It was a year later that vines were planted at the vineyards here. To date, the wines of this label use only the fruits grown in the company’s own estate.

Today, this brand is known for making one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere wines not only in Chile, but in the world. The wine estate is located in a scenic location known as Pirque, one of the heritage-rich places in the Maipo Valley. Located at the foothills of the Andes Mountains, this estate is blessed with excellent climate, soil quality, terroir conditions and altitudes to grow flavour-rich and intense fruits.

The colours, tannins and structure of the fruits grown here are of very high concentration. This is because the vines are planted at an average height of 550 to 600m above sea level. The vineyards are located towards the south of Maipo River. The combination of mountains, rivers and the nearby Pacific Ocean gives this a place with a semi-arid Mediterranean climate. Therefore, the grapes are naturally and slowly ripened to ensure that only the ultimate quality of grapes are processed in the winery.

Vertical shoot position is the direction that is used for planting the vines. This way, the vine growers here ensure that all the vines get the right amount of sunlight and ventilation needed for growing to their full potential. In the year 2006, organic farming was started at these vineyards. Natural compost has replaced herbicides, while natural yeasts are used for the fermentation process. Therefore, the wines reflect the true character of the fruits when they are bottled.
