P.S. García

The winery

P.S. García brings together a winemaker and a family who met in the dry-farmed country of Itata. Felipe García, who worked for Kendall Jackson and Casas del Bosque, started his own project in 2006 with Carignan as the base of his reds and took part in forming MOVI, the Movimiento de Viñateros Independientes (Independent Winegrowers Movement), and VIGNO, the Vignadores de Carignan. In 2009 he met the Mendozas, who have an old País vineyard on the Piedra Lisa farm, in the municipality of San Nicolás. From 2010 they grafted those vines and in 2012 harvested the first grapes, with which Bravado made its debut. The partnership was formalized in 2017 between Felipe and Patricio, Sergio and Nicolás Mendoza; the name alludes to the partners and plays on the abbreviation for post scriptum, because the story had begun earlier.

At Piedra Lisa the País vines, more than 100 years old, grow head-trained and unirrigated on granite soils of the Coastal Range. Onto them were grafted Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Durif and Petit Verdot, which today come out as single-plot wines with names of their own, such as Carignan La Cabentera, Grenache El Albaricoque, Mourvèdre El Maitén and Durif and Petit Verdot Loma Norte: runs of around 1,800 to 3,500 bottles, with 23 to 26 months in French oak barrels. There is also a País from those century-old vines and Bravado, an Itata blend with a Syrah base from the Bellavista area. Outside Itata, the winery works Carignan from 1958 vines in Melozal, in Loncomilla, the base of Facundo; Pinot Noir from Las Dichas, in Casablanca; Sauvignon Blanc from Algarrobo and Leyda, and a Cabernet Sauvignon from Requínoa in the Mala Fama line.

The winery publishes no visits, hours or tours. The photos on its account show a shed at Piedra Lisa with barrels and concrete tanks, where in May 2026 it celebrated with its team, family and friends what it counts as its tenth harvest, but that was a private party, not an open activity. To get to know its wines, the direct route is the online shop, which ships to all of mainland Chile, and the fairs it attends with MOVI in Santiago.
