An Organic Chardonnay Thats Worth Trying

This week I tried the Emiliana Natura Organic Unoaked Chardonnay. I'm not to big on overdone over oaked California Chardonnay. So when I tried Natura Chardonnay I was pleased. First of all, it's from Chile in the Casablanca Valley. Second of all, it's priced under $8 a bottle! Here are my notes on this great wine

  • Tastes:  True Chardonnay, crisp, a little creamy, very acidic fruit with hints of grapefruit. Very tropical fruit tastes are in the finish. Very balanced and light bodied. 
  • Aging: The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks with no oak. 
  • About the Winery: The winery is 100% organic from a mobile chicken coop to an organic garden in the middle of the vineyard to help the soil. They use their own compost; have windmill and solar power. They have biodiversity, which is having different species coexist within the same physical space. Which means in the farm vineyards the horses, geese, and alpacas live and control the weeds. 
A great bottle of wine that is thinking about it's own green footprint.













Cheers,
Angela
