Hallgarten & Novum Wines has today announced the addition of Garage Wine Co. to its portfolio, strengthening its Chilean offering.
Known for its specialism in old vines, Garage Wine will be available in the UK’s hospitality and retail sectors from February 2026.
In addition to the core portfolio, the initial offering will include parcels from Sauzal and Renacido alongside an old-vine field-blend solera.
Hallgarten said that Garage Wine is known for its focus on dry-farming in the decomposed granite and schist of Chile’s coastal mountain range.
Garage was founded 25 years ago and is run by a husband-and-wife team. It is now exported to 23 markets worldwide.
Jim Wilson, buying director at Hallgarten said: “Wines made from old vines have been growing in popularity and importance for a number of years, and we are delighted to welcome one of the true specialists into our portfolio.
“The Garage Wine Co. has an energy and precision for reviving old vines to create bottles that fit into where we see the UK drinker going – towards wines of origin, with effortless drinkability and a focus on supporting their team and own community.”
Derek Mossman Knapp, co-founder and winemaker at Garage Wine, added: “Over the years, we have learned that the right partners are the ones who not only value our wines, but our ethos. The Hallgarten team have means to help us get closer, not just to buyers, but straight through to the folks pulling corks and pouring glasses.
“Together we want to show the UK what old vines made with purpose can be. This move represents a restored focus on the UK market with wines that speak to today´s consumers who want to know, not only where their wine is made, but also how and who is behind it.”
