Luca Hodgkinson Sabatico Garnacha 2018
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
Sumptuous ruby red blend with heaps of character from the heart of Chile
-
This ruby red blend of Carignan and Grenache comes from gnarly 80-year-old vines in the rolling hills of the Maule Valley, Chile’s most historic winemaking region.
-
Luca Hodgkinson prides himself on producing wines as naturally as possible, with the bare minimum of human intervention or man-made sulphur additives. It means his wines can truly express the quality of his grapes, the place they were grown, and the conditions of each vintage. Resulting in seriously vibrant and expressive wines like his Sabatico.
-
If you’re a fan of posh reds with heaps of character, this one’s for you. On the nose it’s wild, herbaceous, almost savoury with striking aromas of balsamic and spice. Then on the palate you get those light and complex fruit flavours like raspberries, redcurrants and crunchy red bramble fruits. Pour yourself a glass, then close your eyes and take a sip, and you might think you’ve got a luxury French Pinot Noir on your hands. Mouthwatering.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Luca Hodgkinson
Born and raised in the rugged Priorat region of Catalonia, to an English dad and French mum, Luca got a winemaking Master’s degree in Bordeaux, where he lived in the middle of St Emilion. He’s since made wines on 3 continents, and speaks 5 languages fluently.
Over the years, Luca realised he had to unlearn a lot of stuff from wine school. Like using artificial additives, pesticides, man-made irrigation and fertilizers. He believes vineyards are like people. If left to nature, they have personalities that shine through in their wines.
To Luca, wine is the most social product man has ever made, pure emotion in a glass. A mirror of the soils and location it springs from. It brings our senses down to earth. With Naked funding behind him, he’ll be able to focus 100% on what he’s best at, making his old-vine Chilean classics taste as delicious as possible.
