Tasting Notes

Sumptuous organic Malbec!

Colour 

Deep ruby-red in colour

Nose

Vibrant aromas of redcurrant and blackberries, elegantly combined with mild notes of white pepper.

Palate

Medium-bodied on the palate with silky ripe tannins and a long, broad finish. An elegant wine that is easy to drink.

 

Production

The Rapel Valley lies with the Pacific Ocean to the West, to the east the Andes Mountains, and to the south the province of Colchagua. The climatic characteristics of this valley include frost-free springs and warm summers that allow the grapes to ripen well. Riverbed associated soils, deep alluvial clay loam. Clay provides water retention, which contributes to good grape ripening. 20% in French oak barrels for 6 months.

It holds organic certifications in accordance with the standards of the United States, Canada (NOP), Brazil, Chile, Japan, South Korea, China, and Europe.

Emiliana received its Fairtrade and Fair For Life certifications in 2011 and 2017 and has been selling fair trade wines since 2012.
