Baigorri Vino De Garage 2014
The Baigorri de Garage pays homage to Bordeaux’s “garagistes” who broke the rules to create a new style of wine In a very traditional winemaking region. The De Garage, the signature wine from Bodegas Baigorri, uses grapes from the cellar’s oldest vineyards, and in some cases over 100 years. The winemaker followed no rules In making this wine, ageing It to perfection and releasing It only when It was ready to be enjoyed.

Bodegas Baigorri returns winemaking to its origins in a state-of-the-art facility that is as much a work of art as the wines it creates. Built around the winemaking process, an elegant glass structure emerges from the soil and welcomes the visitor with a stunning display of the surrounding vineyards, emphasizing that it is here where the process begins.
Baigorri then dives more than 30 metres below the surface and relies on gravity to drive the fruit and must through its evolution towards world-class wine. The absence of hoppers, pumps or mechanical methods of any kind ensures that the individually selected grapes and the resulting wine are insulated from any potential damage. The result of this combination of careful vineyard management, rigorous selection and innovative architecture is a collection of well rounded, modern wines with a distinct personality.
