"For a Chilean winery, Viñedos Organicos Emiliana is unusual. It is dedicated to producing environmentally responsible wines, initially organically, but then the goal is for it to adopt biodynamics. The man at the helm of the project, which started in 2000 with the backing of parent company Vina Santa Emiliana, is Alvaro Espinoza, formerly winemaker with Carmen. Alvaro is a true pioneer, and has been single-handedly responsible for introducing biodynamic viticulture into South America". www.wineanorak.com
Novas Cabernet Sauvignon - Organic Red wine tasting notes
Organic red wine at its best. A blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Syrah, mostly aged in French and American oak barrels. Ripe blackcurrant fruit on the nose with some chocolatey richness. The palate shows vivid fruit with some good acidity. Not too rich and sweet, with firm spicy tannins on the finish. Interesting and quite structured.
