Lafage was recommended in Food and Wine magazine as a perennial go-to for wines. Tesseallae is the Latin word for mosaic. This delicious red has a blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 15% Mourverdre and 5% Grenache Gris (a rare white grape.) The wine is aged for 12 months in concrete tanks and bottled unfiltered It’s round and velvety with a complex bouquet and flavors of strawberries, dark fruits laced with pretty floral and earth notes. Fruit flavors are lush and the finish is seamless. This beautiful wine has the ability to pair well with meats, charcuterie, lamb, duck, or rich stews. Robert Parker rates at 93 points. – Derek Brammer, Surdyk’s

Prunes, a touch of dried apricot, dark cherry, gamey funk on the long finish. Daddy’s at the party now... @Derek Haas @Kris Avocado — 5 years ago

Better than my first bottle last June.
Parker 95 Wine Maker notes,
Derek Mossman began Garage Wine Company at a time when there were relatively few smaller, family owned wineries in Chile. He not only started his venture to produce hand made wines on a human scale, but also to buy fruit from and support farmers with great quality fruit throughout the country. Along the way, he also banded together a group of like minded wineries to create MOVI, a platform to promote smaller production wineries in Chile.
Tantalizing aromas of blueberries, violets, orange peel, raspberry leaf and aniseed with a touch of aromatic herbs that provide freshness. The palate is electric, with pulsing acidity, ultra-fine tannins and very good length. Both rustic and elegant, wild and subtle, it has precision, elegance, balance and life. Shows no alcohol nor wood. A fresh, Mediterranean blend from a vineyard that was forgotten, revived, regenerated and today shows what the Maule is capable of. — 4 years ago
Smooth, tangy, with a fruity and a very slightly spicy finish. Definitely can taste the grapes in the right way — 5 years ago
