EMILIANA ORGANICO WINERY
BRAND NAME: NATURA
By: Ed "The Wine Guy"
Emiliana is the largest organic grape grower in Chile. Its Natura brand produces delicious and inexpensive wines. Featured here are the Chardonnay (2013), Pinot Noir (2013), and Malbec (2012). The Chardonnay is light- to medium-bodied, unoaked, clean, and fresh, with, mainly, pineapple and apple cider flavors. The Pinot Noir is different (but good) than what you're used to; it has a note of spice which is peculiar to Chilean Pinot Noir. The Malbec exhibits aromas and flavors of plum and blackberry, with a note of pepper; while it doesn't rival the Malbecs of Mendozza, Argentina, it compares favorably.
