REGION: Maule

Clos des Fous’ philosophy is to produce wines with tension, from grapes grown in extreme terroir, with minimal intervention in the winery. Clos des Fous is one of Chile’s most innovative, inspiring, and authentic wineries producing some of the most exciting wines in South America.

Patricio Tapia and his partner Lina Gomez love the old school, elegant Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1970’s and 1980’s. The nostalgic couple decided to establish Edicion M.R. chasing a style that is restrained, typically softer, less extracted, sees less time in oak, and has lower ABV.

The Galactica wines are made by the winemaking team of Ricardo Baettig and Daniela Salinas with fruit from a blend of both estate and sourced certified sustainable vineyards. We believe that the Galactica bottlings offer great value and classic varietal and regional typicity.

Garage Wine began quite literally in Pilar and Derek’s garage. GWCo makes wines from a series of individual parcels, small lots / bottlings of 8 -22 barrels that include dry-farmed Carignan, Garnacha, Monastrell, País, Cinsault and Cab Franc grown in in the Maule and Itata.
